PRAYER MINISTRY
Bethany has a prayer ministry that meets as needed. This ministry is open to all that want/need prayer for various concerns. Please contact Pastor Kathy if prayer is needed.
Prayer Ministry and classes on prayer will be available during Vacation Bible School in the Fellowship Room.

****************************************************************************

The Coffee Pot continues to attract patrons, especially the Thursday lunch program. Check it out Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8-10:00 am for coffee and 8:00 am-1:00 pm for coffee and lunch on Thursday’s. We are also looking for anyone willing to donate food items for the lunches to contact Yvonne Borton or the church office.

************************************************************************************************************

Please join us at the Coffee Pot on Thursday mornings at 9:00 to create prayer shawls and for fellowship.  Bring 4 skeins of Homespun yarn (or any soft, washable yarn) and size 13 knitting needles or J or K crochet hook.  (Patterns will be provided.)  If 2 or 3 (or more?) of you would like to meet in the evening we can do that, too!  (P.S.  You do not have to know how to knit or crochet – we will teach you.)  Prayer shawls are given to people in our community who are in need of comfort.  It is our prayer that the shawls will remind them of God’s love for them as well as the love Bethany has for them.  (If you know of someone who may have their spirits lifted by this ministry, please contact the church office.)
