Super Bowl Party!

Join us next Sunday, February 7th at 5 p.m. in the Sanctuary to watch the Super Bowl and to root for your favorite team.

Please bring some friends, a snack or dish to share and $2 for pizza. We will provide drinks.

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 1 John 3:17

Next Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday and millions will be glued to their television screens watching the game while thousands are homeless and hungry right here in Houston. Bethany continues its annual Souper Bowl of Caring Drive. All donations will go to support our own Braes Interfaith Ministries (BIM). With every dollar that BIM receives, it can go to the Houston Food Bank and receive $27 worth of food. Every month, BIM provides assistance to over 1,000 individuals right here in our neighborhood. Checks should be made out to "Bethany" with the notation "BIM" in the memo line.

"Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole of creation."

On Saturday, February 27th, you have the opportunity to join in a local mission opportunity that Bethany is sponsoring.

We will again go to Open Door Ministries at 5803 Harrisburg to help prepare and serve breakfast to the residents and to area homeless. The group size is limited so please call or email the Church office to volunteer. We will meet at Bethany at 6:15 am and carpool to Open Door. We should be finished between 11 am and noon. Last year's visit to Open Door was especially meaningful to those who went. Join us this year!
