Parishioners of the Bethany Evangelical Congregational Church in Tamaqua have found a new home for their contemporary service; at least for the time being.

Construction work to the US209 bridge on East Broad Street has resulted in limited parking and decreased access to their church from the west side of the bridge.Not having too many options, the church opted to move their services inside the Tamaqua YMCA.Hours prior to each service, parishioners have to set up chairs, sound system and other items. Traditional services are still held every Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. at the Bethany church, 223 East Broad Street.The contemporary church service is held every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at the YMCA, 1201 East Broad Street.Pastor Kevin Roberts said that the move really shows how his parishioners adapt and overcome to change.
