When Bethany gathers for fellowship as a congregation, we honor our traditions, start new ones, and kindle inter-generational relationships. We gather for regular events throughout the year, just to have fun and enjoy each other.  As a result, our congregation is strengthened and invigorated, especially when our friends and neighbors join us.

With that in mind, we invite you to join us as we celebrate these events throughout the year:

Fellowship

Spring Tea

Usually sometime in May, our Spring Tea is an opportunity to gather together, and to raise funds for local and world-wide causes.  There is tea (of course!) and finger food, and flowers and chatter.  Past events have benefitted RotaCare Coastside Free Medical Clinic, Stop Hunger Now, the San Bruno Hospitality House, and many others.

Easter Sunrise Brunch

Immediately following our outdoor Easter Sunrise service, we celebrate with a tasty repast - to send us out onto our next celebration and/or to sustain us until the 10:00 worship service!

Blessing of the Animals

Spend a lovely day with our animal friends!  The local community is invited to our service of celebration, and individual or memorial blessings of our beloved pets.  

Thanksgiving Dinner and Talent Revue

Held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, this is Bethany's most popular event of the year.  We provide the turkey and trimmings, and the rest is pot-luck, when everyone gets to bring their favorite side dishes.  After dinner is our annual Talent Revue (and Open Mic) when our amazing and very talented congregation gets to shine.

Preparing for Christmas is always festive at Bethany!  On a Saturday in December, kids and adults deck the halls with finery, create hand-crafted ornaments, trim the tree and bake cookies. We finish our time together with dinner under the glow of lights on the tree.
