Bethany UCC25.08.03. Sermon. Red Flags: get curious, together.Anyone who knows former student pastor and Bethany member Kelli Manning might be surprised to know that she was once hugely self-conscious. Well, she didn't manage, understand, or grow through it on her own. It required caring and collective curiosity. Preaching from Numbers 22, she encouraged us likewise to journey together:"When people ignore or don't know to look for repeated warning signs...they keep walking on a dangerously lonely path. Seeing the warning signs is one thing, but allowing someone else to help navigate them is transformational."

Bethany UCC25.05.11. Sermon. Sanctuary: Dream BiggerWe're focusing on Disability Justice this month at Bethany. In her sermon this week, Pastor Rebecca reflects on the ways churches and communities often ask 'how can you fit into how we do things' rather than asking 'how can we do things in ways that include the most people possible?'

Bethany UCC2023.5.21 Sermon: Streakers, Shipwrecks, and She-Bears. Love BattleGuest preacher and Bethany member in discernment, Xander King, provides our next sermon in the weirdest stories of the Bible series! With Numbers 25 as the base, it's just a scriptural mess but it could be an interesting exploration of how the "weird" and disturbing stories in the Bible are often the result of historical tension in the story itself. Tune in to hear!
