Each year on the third Sunday of September, Bethany invites congregations to remember its mission to educate spiritual and intellectual leaders for ministry by including Bethany in multiple parts of their worship services. Below, you will find resources to help prepare for this celebration of ministry education.
While several years of resources are available for your own comparison, please use resources indicated for the current calendar year, so that your worshippers receive the most current information. Thank you for celebrating Bethany and Bethany's mission with us!
