BETHANY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank you!
A big thank you to Mary Jenson, Colleen Chupik, Jennie Harris and all who made the Women's Retreat such a wonderful and educational weekend. It was filled with beautiful Fall foliage, good food, and wonderful fellowship. – McKenna Lang
Affordable Housing Vision is Becoming Reality !!
Bethany took a giant step forward last Sunday in its plan to build affordable homes south of the Church buildings. Members of Bethany and the broader Bainbridge Island Community gathered for a ground-breaking ceremony – taking golden shovels and breaking ground – to officially begin building the Finch Green affordable housing project. Now that COBI has approved the plat, just a few more steps remain to be accomplished before property conveyance to Housing Resources Bainbridge (HRB) will occur. Hopefully, this will take place in November! Give a shout out to all the shovelers (and to everyone else who is making a vision become a reality!)

This Sunday, we begin our Stewardship program: “Passion for God. Compassion for Others.” Pastor Martin is offering a program at the Adult Forum, “Liberating the “S-word”: Stewardship As a Way of Faith” and worship during the first three Sundays in November will explore biblical themes on Stewardship as the all the ways we live out our faith. Watch for a mailing that, along with a cover letter, will contain a “Faith Response Form” for financial giving, and a Time and Talent Survey Form for giving in action. Please return the completed cards and forms by Sunday, November 15. Thank you.
