A Christmas Tradition for Women

The time of year is upon us once again, when we turn toward the celebration of the Christmas season and the 16th Annual ~ “From the Heart”, and it wouldn’t be the same without women from all over the Seacoast.

As we enter this season, we realize that many this year are facing uncertain and difficult times, but the gift and truth of Christmas – Jesus Christ, allows us to face all uncertainty with hope, joy and peace. On Thursday, December 3rd and Friday, December 4th, Bethany Church will open its doors hosting “From the Heart” with guest speaker and author, Jan Silvious, presenting “Good News for Hard Times”.

Jan has been reaching out to women for over 20 years with her unique messages and style delivered through books, radio shows and speaking engagements. We look forward to the lives she will touch and encourage at “From the Heart”. In addition, “From the Heart” is adding a special touch with local interior designers coming together to decorate our hall with Christmas trees.

We hope to have you join us! Tickets will go on sale beginning November 8th. Tickets cost $5. Please contact the church for ticket information at: 603-431-3646. This event fills up quickly, so please save this date, invite your friends, and make sure you get your ticket(s).

The sanctuary doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the event starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served following the program. There will be ministry leaders available following the evening presentation to answer any questions you or your guests may have.
