You are invited to write a devotion for Lent

Good morning, all,

Lent begins on Feb. 14, Ash Wednesday, just three weeks from tomorrow. We are asking people of Bethany to write a personal devotion in the form of a letter to God. There is a sign-up on the bulletin board.  Please hand in your devotion to the office by the end of this month. You can drop email them to info@bethanyofbainbridge. These will be shared, for inspiration and prayer. Your devotion doesn’t have to be long, or eloquent, or perfectly written, just you.

Thanks,

Rachel Pritchett, office administrator

Bethany celebrates Chinese New Year

More than 70 people and the local press attended Bethany's celebration of Chinese New Year, hosted by Dr. Franklin Chu and Bethany's FFF group of seniors on Wednesday, Jan. 17. Chu, who has pancreatic cancer, explained much about the Chinese calendar. He, wife Linnea, and mother Shirley, prepared a delicious meal for the festive gathering, complete with pot stickers, almond cookies, nuts, tea and so much more. The afternoon was wonderful, with friends and newcomers embracing in friendship, deep stories told and a few years of joy. A few photos are below, and be sure to see a video featuring Franklin from the event under the "About Us" tab, dropping down to "Featured Video." Also go to BainbridgeReview.com.
