			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Casa Bonita</h2>
<p><em>Sunday, August 15th, 5:00 pm</em></p>
<p>Due to a high number of requests from kids (and believe it or not their parents!) we are going to brave North America&#8217;s largest restaurant.  Cliff Divers, Bands, Magicians, Skits, Caves and food&#8230;sounds like a family friendly night out.  RSVP to Jennifer Miller by Thursday, August 12th.  ksucsu@msn.com.</p>
<h2>Fall Reunion:  Wine and Cheese at the Christian&#8217;s House</h2>
<p><em>Saturday, September 25, 7:00 &#8211; 9:00</em></p>
<p>With summer finally over and the kids back in school, let&#8217;s get the parents together to enjoy some wine and cheese and reconnect on a (hopefully) beautiful early Fall night.  Book a sitter, leave your kid-proof clothes behind and enjoy a date night.   RSVP to Lisa Christian at lisachristian99@gmail.com or 303 718-6929 by Tuesday, September 21st.</p>
<h2>Family Game Night at Bethany</h2>
<p><em>Sunday, October 10  4:30 &#8211; 6:45</em></p>
<p>Skip the cooking and let&#8217;s gather at church for a pizza dinner followed by fun games.  This night is going to be all about good times but it&#8217;s also designed to be an opportunity for our kid&#8217;s to continue building strong, adult, trusted relationships, so important to their faith journey.  Activities will be organized so that every child attending will leave that night having had an opportunity to get to know a Bethany adult they previously didn&#8217;t know or didn&#8217;t know well.  Free nursery is provided for kid&#8217;s 2 or 3 and under.  RSVP to soniarvanderson@hotmail.com-or call 303 341-4437 by Tuesday, October 5th. Join us for lots of FUN!</p>
<h2>Family Faith Night &#8211; Sanctuary Crawl</h2>
<p><em>Saturday, November 6,  4-7pm</em></p>
<p>We are going to &#8220;de-mystify&#8221; the beautiful Bethany sanctuary for our families.  Kids will have a chance for an up front and personal introduction to the sanctuary they only know from sitting in a pew.  This &#8220;hands-on&#8221; activity will answer their questions, such as,  &#8220;What&#8217;s Pastor Ron&#8217;s view like from the pulpit?&#8221; and &#8220;How do the acolytes light a candle several feet above their heads?&#8221;, &#8220;How can Pastor Ruth Ann&#8217;s voice be so loud when she isn&#8217;t holding a microphone?&#8221;, &#8220;Where does the water come from in the Baptismal font?&#8221; and  &#8220;What on earth happens behind that big stained glass wall?&#8221;  The Crawl is followed by dinner and then a short, family friendly worship service.  RSVP by November 1 to Joni Grundman at joni@bethany-denver.org or call 303 758-2820.</p>

<h2>Service Project:  Acts of Kindness&#8230;..Meal Assembly for Bethany Families</h2>
