Welcome from Reverend Susan Pennock
I want to personally welcome you to the fellowship of Bethany UMC on James Island, whether you live in the area or have come for vacation and respite. All are truly welcomed at Bethany! I was appointed to serve this congregation as of July 2021, so my journey here has just recently begun. I come to Bethany with great excitement as I have clearly heard God’s call in this move. The reputation of this loving congregation has proven true, and we welcome you to join us for in-person worship at 10 am on Sundays or online through our Facebook page. It could be argued that we have all undergone some form of change through the events of the past year and the church is no exception. We will be, very prayerfully, working through our online presence over the next months and the reopening of programs and worship. It is a great time to join us as we seek God’s lead in the future direction of the church. It will be a joy to witness where and how God leads us through the gifts and the call of the church in this post- Covid environment. I am committed to supporting an environment of unity, love, and inclusion as we seek God’s call of response in this community. Come join us or feel free to give me a call if you want to learn more about life at Bethany UMC. I look forward to hearing from you! Blessings! Reverend Susan Pennock Old Fashioned October is here! Pumpkin Patch Calendar IMPT: Please contact Julie through the church office to volunteer for Pumpkin Patch shifts and to help with Trunk or Treat. Witness Ministries Team needs bags of candy donated (you can leave these in the church kitchen). Thank you for your help. It's one of those times when giving of yourself is super easy and lots of fun. We would like to express our gratitude to the James Island Charter High School Junior Varsity Football Team and Wrestlers for their generous gift of time and hard work unloading 3,000 pumpkins this past weekend! We simply could not have set up our patch without your generous volunteer hours. Thank you! The Bill Davis Sunday School Class, The Jennings Sunday School Class & The Good Life Adult Sunday School classes meet after the service service at 11:00 am weekly.. Children's Sunday School Postponed Our children's parents and children's leaders have postponed Children's Sunday School until further notice. Pastor Susan is having children up front in church for our Children's Ministry Moment. Our Nursery is Open during Church Service We have immediate need for nursery volunteers. This is not a long-term commitment. Please consider giving one or two Sundays of nursery service over the next couple of months. Contact the church office to sign up. |
