GOLDEN AGERS – If you will be new to our Prayer Partner Program by turning 70 anytime during 2012, please let Wanda Kiser know so that you can be included in this program.  All members over 70 will receive a questionnaire to help your new Prayer Partner for 2012. Please complete this and return to Wanda as soon as possible.  If you were a Prayer Partner during 2011, please be sure to “reveal” yourself to the Golden Ager you have prayed for this last year.

By now you have probably noticed the crepe myrtle trees that have been planted along the sidewalk in front of the cemetery. These pink and white flowering trees should be beautiful in the years to come. These trees have been given to the Glory of God and memory of the following.

The Worship and Music Committee will begin work on the List of those serving in various positions during our Worship Services.  If you would like to add your name to assist in any way or wish to have your name removed, please see Prue Carpenter as soon as possible. The responsibilities of our Ushers, Acolytes, Greeters and Nursery attendance are very important and we hope everyone will volunteer in some way as we serve God in these jobs.

****ACOLYTES, USHERS, ASSISTING MINISTERS, NURSERY assistants.  Please see Prue Carpenter is you would like your name removed from serving above or would like to make any changes.

 

 

 

The people of Bethel are willing to Serve as Jesus commanded us to do.  There are many in our congregation that occasionally need a helping hand with minor repairs around their homes or work outside that they are no longer physically able to handle on their own.  There is a sheet in the Narthex where you can list such needs.  We hope to be able to branch out in our community in the future to also our serve our neighbors needs. If you know of such a need, please also list this on the sheet.
