Bethany Baptist Church of Moline will celebrate its 150th anniversary Sept. 11-13, a news release says.

With the theme “150 Years of God’s Faithfulness,” the anniversary weekend will celebrate Bethany’s rich history, from its Swedish beginnings in 1876 to the congregation it is today. Current and former members, friends of the church and anyone with a connection to Bethany are invited to take part in the weekend’s events.

The celebration will begin Friday, Sept. 11, with an informal time of fellowship at River House Bar & Grill in Moline from 6-8 p.m. Guests are invited to stop in during the evening to reconnect with old friends, share memories, and enjoy light hors d’oeuvres.

The program will take guests on a journey through Bethany’s 150-year history, remembering the people, ministries and milestones that have shaped the church through the generations. The afternoon will conclude with fellowship and desserts from a local bakery.

The anniversary weekend will culminate Sunday, Sept. 13, with a special worship service at 10:30 a.m. A potluck luncheon will follow the service, featuring meat provided by Holy Smokes Meats.

Savory ground beef, tender macaroni, tomatoes, and simple pantry seasonings come together in the kind of old-fashioned goulash that feels familiar from the very first spoonful. The beef cooks down rich and hearty, the pasta soaks up the tomatoey sauce, and everything simmers together until the whole pot turns thick, saucy, and deeply comforting. A little garlic, onion, and seasoning bring that classic family-dinner flavor, while the soft macaroni keeps every bite satisfying without making the dish complicated. It is practical, budget-friendly, and exactly the kind of meal that feels like something Mama could stretch to feed everybody at the table and still have enough left for tomorrow.

The Egg Storage Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes Without Realizing

There's a good chance you're storing your eggs wrong right now, and it has nothing to do with how fresh they were when you bought them. Most people focus on picking good eggs at the store and stop there. But a few small habits at home, ones almost nobody thinks twice about, can quietly cut down how long those eggs actually stay good.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

This 5-Ingredient Hillbilly Pie Is So Easy, the Mixing Spoon Might Feel Completely Useless

Sweet filling, a buttery topping, and pure old-fashioned comfort come together in this no-stir Hillbilly Pie that practically makes itself. With just five ingredients, the whole thing bakes into a warm, gooey dessert with crisp golden edges and a soft, spoonable center that feels straight out of a church supper or Grandma’s kitchen. It is the kind of pantry-friendly recipe that turns almost no effort into something cozy, nostalgic, and just messy enough to demand a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

The Microwave Baked Potato Trick That Gets Dinner on the Table Before the Oven Even Heats Up

A fluffy baked potato does not have to mean waiting nearly an hour for the oven. With the microwave, a humble russet can turn soft, steamy, and fork-tender in minutes, ready to split open and soak up melting butter. The inside stays light and fluffy, while salt, cheese, sour cream, bacon, or whatever toppings are hiding in the refrigerator turn it into something far more satisfying than its short cooking time suggests. It is simple pantry cooking at its most useful—the kind of kitchen trick worth knowing when everyone is hungry and dinner needs to happen now.

This is the side dish everyone asks for at the holiday table

It's not really Thanksgiving without a spoonful of this on the plate, creamy, custardy, and packed with corn flavor. This isn't your typical corn pudding. Toasted cubes of cornbread get folded into a rich custard along with corn, so it lands somewhere between corn pudding and bread pudding, and it's better than both.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

The Scrambled Eggs Trick That Turns an Everyday Breakfast Into Something Worth Sitting Down For

Soft, buttery scrambled eggs sound simple, but getting them tender, creamy, and perfectly cooked is what makes all the difference. These eggs stay fluffy without turning dry, with a rich, velvety texture that feels far more luxurious than a rushed weekday breakfast. A little butter, gentle heat, and the right timing help create soft curds that stay moist and savory all the way through. They are the kind of eggs that make toast feel more important, bacon taste even better, and an ordinary morning suddenly feel like you had time to do breakfast properly.
