Unsung hero around the office?

Good morning, Bethanians,

This morning, I wanted to thank Richard Solinsky for his hard work contributing to what I believe is a fix for some persistent problems we were having with our projector in the sanctuary. The work yesterday and this morning, with an internet support person, was pretty involved.

I cannot count the times Richard has helped us here at Bethany. Despite his living in Indianola, he’s here on a dime and hangs with the problem until it is fixed, no matter how hard. Like this morning.

Richard has saved Bethany many thousands of dollars in IT support. He recently retired from an IT business he had established after his retirement as a Navy contractor worker. He’s still helping us, however.

Richard’s a quiet, behind-the-scenes person, and for this reason, I am lifting him up this morning, because I am so grateful we got this fixed.

Thanks, Richard.

Strains of "A Mighty Fortress" echo on Sunday

Good Monday morning, everyone,

Some 143 people were at Sunday’s special worship service that featured a combined Bethany Choir/Bethany Brass rendition of “A Mighty Fortress,” as well as the confirmation of three of our young people, Fiona Johnson, Luke Shields and Angelina Fenner. Be sure not to miss the anthem video on the Bethany Facebook page. It was a fitting tribute to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation and a special day. Here are some images below.
