Bethany Fellowship Events
Community Meals at Bethany - Our Community Connections Working Group is once again offering an opportunity for Bethany folk and friends to prepare and eat a nutritious meal together. Our goal is to bring people together at the table, with nutritious food, where stories are shared and community is formed. We invite you to join us in the kitchen where you will be assigned a preparation duty or just come eat with us and enjoy this time of community over a delicious, healthy meal! Price per person is $8.00 for lunch and $10 for the supper meals.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper – held every Shrove Tuesday; a delicious supper pancakes and sausage. Tickets are sold following Sunday services prior to the events. One year (in 2016), our Pancake Supper changed from Tuesday to Wednesday due to inclement weather - we even made the news! - but we were happy just to get together.
Spring Gala – Each May, a fun-filled and grandiose event put on by our church community – it’s many hands on deck to make this event happen! The evening begins with hors d’heurves and wine, prepared by our very talented Bethany chefs, featuring Shawn Whynot on piano, followed by an auction and ends with delectable desserts served with coffee and tea.
Spring Tea Social - Dust off your hats and practice raising your pinky finger in preparation for this event. Proceeds from this event will go towards the maintenance and upkeep of Bethany United Church. Seats are limited. For those who like to give meaningful gifts this would make an awesome way to celebrate a loved one!
Vacation Bible School - held during a week within July from 9am - Noon, for children in grades primary to 6. Bring along a friend. Come have fun as we learn about building a firm faith foundation through stories, games and crafts. There is a material fee of $25/child.
Bethany Players presents a play at Bethany every other year in support for St. Andrews Sunday Suppers; an evening of fun followed by dessert and coffee.
Fall Fair – Each October we organize and host a community fall fair, where there is something for everyone. A flea market, pantry tables with delicious homemade goods, a book sale, home décor items and jewelry pieces for sale, crafts, silent auction, chowder lunch (corn & fish), barbecue and lots of activities for the kids.
Silent Movie Night – One night in the Fall, a silent movie accompanied by a soundtrack of organ music played live by our own Shawn Whynot; Bethany’s Youth Group sell popcorn and water at the door. Click here to see what it's all about.
Living Nativity & Old-Fashioned Christmas – two treasured Christmas events all wrapped up into one joyful time of fellowship. We will gather at 6:30 PM in the Joseph Howe parking lot as we share a re-enactment of the Christmas Story with live animals. We will move inside for an Olde Fashioned Christmas where our Bethany Youth Group (BYG) and friends will host a time of crafts, paper chain making, hot cider, cookies and a visit from Santa. This festive evening is in support of Phoenix Youth. Your offering for the evening is a stocking stuffer for a youth in need. We stuff the stockings and deliver them the next day to Phoenix, where delighted youth are very appreciative of our support. “What would be a suitable stocking stuffer you may ask?” The Phoenix Wish List will be available on our Bethany website in “The Community Spirit” for December to assist you with your offering. If you would like to participate in the Living Nativity, a sign-up sheet with details is located on the bulletin board in the hallway between the Sanctuary and Ladies Parlour. We look forward to seeing you on the second Sunday of Advent.
