At Bethany, Group Life has different types of groups including Adult Sunday School, Life Groups, and Short-Term study groups. These groups meet for the purpose of going deeper in our relationship with Jesus through studying God’s word, praying, and having fellowship with other Christians. If you are interested in the current groups being offered at Bethany, please check out the Bethany Church app or contact Donna Barnwell dbarnwell@bethanyumchurch.com, 610-395-3613.
Volunteers are needed to take parishioners who were recently in the hospital to doctor appointments and to therapy appointments. If you are able to serve in this mission, please contact the church office at 610-395-3613.
Our cupboards are bare! We are looking for donations of “Rold Gold” pretzels, “Nabisco Barnum” animal crackers and baked goods. The reason we are asking for specific brands is because of allergies. We also have a bakers list. We encourage the bakers to pick a week that they would like to donate. If you are interested please contact Donna Long at the church office, 610-395-3613.
Volunteers are needed to serve by ushering, greeting, and sitting at the Welcome Desk for Sunday services and special services. If you would like to serve in this way, please contact Donna Barnwell at dbarnwell@bethanyumchurch.com or call the church office 610-395-3613.

The email also includes which teachers are scheduled for that week.
Family Sunday School Co-Leader: At 9:00 a.m. on Sundays, the whole family comes together and a lesson is facilitated. Marleah Doyle will continue to teach and would appreciate an assistant.
