3. ****IMPORTANT CHANGE STARTING TODAY**** NEW SUNDAY WORSHIP START-TIME 10:30AM FROM TODAY ONWARD – Bethany Korean Church leaders have requested that we move our Sunday worship start-time from 10:40am earlier to 10:30am. After weeks of prayer and deliberation, the ordained officers have agreed to this proposal for the purpose of sharing the Chapel with the youth ministry, whose service will now be changed from 10am in the Bethany Chapel to 12pm in the Ezra Chapel (*beginning today, starting with youth Bible study at 11am). Thank you for your understanding, grace, and support through this change!

Promptly grab your food and share discussions around today’s preached Word. Following lunch, we will have churchwide fellowship games & activities! *EVERYONE, PLEASE MAKE EFFORT TO PARTICIPATE so that we may draw closer to Christ’s love for one another. Following fellowship games, we will hand out prizes and have a raffle drawing. Lastly, we will cleanup and depart the pavilion area by 2pm. Let’s keep one another safe and have a blessed fellowship in Christ together!
