Blood drive at Bethel on May 13 1-7 P.M.
We are needing help. First of all we need blood donors! To care for these donors, we need volunteers to take care of them. We would like to have 2 shifts of helpers; 12:30 – 3:30 and 3:00- 7:30. Youth this is an opportunity to get service hours if you are doing this toward high school requirements. Blood donors must be fed so we need 4 soup makers, a sandwich maker and cookies. Contact Lee Wagoner for kitchen duty, Betty Scott for the donation area or Jon Laughner and Gary Harman to volunteer.
“KNOWING GOD STUDY”
Knowing God is an introduction to theology aimed at the average Christian. Packer uses a study of the attributes of God as the central approach to help his readers know who God is. A new group will be starting May 19 at the home of Lloyd & Joan Raney at 9:30AM. There will be required reading and workbook assignments that need to be completed before each group study. The cost for the book and study guide is $20.96. This is a small group study and the size of the group is limited to ten. Please call the church secretary if attending by May 14, 2010.
Youth Auxiliary will meet at 5:30PM on May 16th. Come join us as we plan for summer events for the youth and encourage each other in this work of “parenting”.

Caring for Bethel’s Flock of Children
Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly – not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. 1 Peter 5:2
