New in September at Bethany

Let’s learn some new music! Starting on September 10, those attending worship at Bethany will be learning a new setting of our liturgy. This setting has an updated sound and some catchy melodies. Kyrie will also be added back into worship. What is Kyrie? It is a prayer for God’s mercy to fill the church and the world.

Traditionally it has been a call-in-response format with the following words: In peace, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy. For the peace from above, and for our salvation, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy. For the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the church of god, and for the unity of all, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy. For this holy house, and for all who offer here their worship and praise, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy. Help, save, comfort, and defend us, gracious Lord. Amen. Amen.

Communion will also be celebrated every week starting on September 3rd. The 1st and 3rd Sundays will be altar communion, the rest of the Sundays will be continuous.
