Three events added to regular worship services this past weekend

Good Monday morning, Bethany folks,

It was a memorable weekend within the Bethany community on Saturday and Sunday.

A funeral for Franklin Chu took place on Saturday at Silverdale Lutheran Church, moved there because it is a larger space. That was preceded by a dinner for the Chu family and friends that took place Friday here at Bethany. Thanks to all who helped.

Pastor Sonja Selboe officiated at the wedding for Deb de Beauchamp and Michael Fancher on Saturday here at Bethany.

And I was in La Jolly, Calif., on Saturday for the wedding of our youngest daughter, Sonya, pictured below.

Reform Ride raises $20,000 for refugee assistance

Good Monday morning to you all,

Here are some images from the Reform Ride for Refugees, which took place Saturday in Silverdale. The total raised for refugee assistance through Lutheran Community Services Northwest was $20,000. Ride organizer Allison Pringle dedicated the ride to Dr. Frank Chu of Bethany, who died the very same day after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
