A Friendly Reminder

Just a friendly reminder to the members of  Bethlehem Congregation to please use the offering envelopes you receive in the mail each month.  These envelopes help the financial  secretary and counting helper be more timely and accurate when preparing the giving statements.  Thank you for your help.

       Julie Woltjer, Financial Secretary

 

"Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work."

Thank you

Women of Bethlehem Church, Thank you for the beautiful quilt that was given to me for graduation. It was greatly appericated and very thoughtful of Bethlehem Church.

God Bless, Courtney Wittman
