join us in worship at bethany ucc

EXPERIENCE BETHANY

We’re doing worship in Bethany’s sanctuary or on Zoom on Sundays at 10:30 am. Groups are seated at a distance from one another.

You and everyone you know are invited! Our services have a traditional shape and eclectic content. Readings include scripture and poetry. Music often includes old familiar hymns, classical music led by some of Chicago's best performers, folk music, chants and world Christian music that we learn as we go. Sermons are narrative and engaging. And, of course, we pray and pass the peace and have Communion (usually once a month), where all people, including children, are most definitely welcome. 

If you've ever been told or made to feel that there's some obstacle to your receiving Communion or in any way participating in a life of faith, we're here to say: those voices were wrong. You will find a welcome here. 

Parking

Free parking is available in the Ravenswood School lot across from the church on Cullom Ave. You may enter from the alley.

Open and Affirming

Bethany is an Open and Affirming congregation that welcomes the full participation of all LGBTQ+ persons, friends, and members.

Zoom

If in-person worship still doesn’t feel right for you, you’re welcome to livestream our services via Zoom. Get the Zoom link by signing up for our weekly email at the top of this page.
