LYL, scotty

Your prayers for the Co-Op have been heard. A few weeks ago we were dangerously low on food and funds. August was a record month for assistance given. BUT our God has provided for our needs and is continuing to do so! Please continue to pray for the Co-Op and its faithful volunteers who are devoted to the Lord Jesus. Thank you for your prayers for our clients.

Linda Freund

Director

Thanks,

2^nd Membership Class

Lead by Pastor John

We have had several request that we have another 3 week Membership Class on Wednesday night.  This class will begin on Sept. 8^th at 6:30 in the back of the fellowship hall.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the United Methodist Church and its history?  What are our true traditions?  What is the history of  Bethesda United Methodist Church?  How are we helping those around our world?

Why not join Pastor John in a three week course on Wednesday nights to explain our history and membership.  We’ll look at our worship and its heritage.  We’ll explain Holy Communion and Baptism.  Come join us for a time of learning about our Church.
