Sunday School Open House

Interested in our Sunday School program? You are invited to attend our Sunday School Open House on Sunday, March 23rd at 10:15 AM in the Sunday School room. You will get a glimpse into what our Sunday School classes look like by learning a Bible Story, completing activities, and singing songs! This event is open for all children who will be going into 4-year-old Preschool through 5th grade for next school year and their parents. Our church's nursery is open during this hour to watch any younger siblings. Contact Sammi Stegman (sammipk13@yahoo.com or 920-428-2033) with any questions.

WELS United

WELS United is a group of 21 congregations located in the Fox Valley Area. We have joined together to be able to accomplish things that we could not do on our own. Our prayer is that, through this cooperation, we can better serve the people of our congregations and our community. Please visit our website www.welsunited.org or facebook.com/WELSUnited to learn more about our ministry.

Midweek Lenten Services & Suppers

Join us for midweek Lenten services on Wednesdays at 4:30PM & 6PM at the Parkway Campus. We also typically have a group from church that serves a meal between those services. We do NOT have anyone signed up to serve for March 12 or 19. Without someone hosting, there will be no dinner. If you would like to assemble a group for one of the openings, please contact churchoffice@bethanyappleton.org.

Midweek Oasis - New Bible Study Starting

The New Testament book entitled Hebrews is a letter to early Jewish believers in Jesus. Drawing heavily on Old Testament references, the book points to the truth that Jesus was indeed the long-awaited Messiah. But the author makes his point by explicitly saying how Jesus is better than any other option. Thirteen times in the book it is stated that Jesus is "better," "superior," or "more excellent."  He is so in comparison to the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, to angels, to Moses, better than any way the book’s readers thought they could approach God. And the lesson for us today is Jesus is still better and superior than any other way we might try to approach God; that we might try to be saved. A new study of this book starts March 5 at our Midweek Oasis. Come learn with us the significance of the Letter to the Hebrews, and see our Superior Savior!

New Bible Study - Samuel the Last Judge of Israel

From an unusual childhood to an unsung ending, Samuel had the distinction of serving as the last Judge of Israel. In this new Sunday Studies series, “Samuel, The Last Judge of Israel,” we will focus on God’s work through his servant to bring much-needed leadership to a spiritually floundering people. Beginning March 2 @ 10:15am, please join us each week in the lower-level fellowship hall of the Parkway Campus for this opportunity to grow in God’s Word together!

WELS United

WELS United in the Fox Valley will be hosting their annual meeting on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Trinity Lutheran Church (407 Oak Street) in Neenah. All area WELS members are welcome to attend and participate in the discussion. We would especially encourage at least one pastor and one layperson from each of our 20 member-congregations to attend and serve as voting delegates and consider running for one of our open offices - Secretary, Education / Worship Coordinator, Support / Benevolence Coordinator. WELS United is a cross-congregational ministry devoted to the simple concept that we can accomplish more working together than we can alone. If you would like to learn more about the work of WELS United and the many possibilities for serving through one of our shared ministries, please plan to attend and know that your input, creative ideas, and willing hearts and hands are welcome!
