Blood drive at Bethel on May 11, 1-7 P.M.
We need 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 Gary Harman to volunteer.
Brown Bag Lunch Conversation on May 15Th
Please join Pastor Mark for a conversation on the issues facing our denomination. The purpose of the conversation is to make sure we all understand what the Presbyteries are voting on. Bring a lunch for yourself. The conversation will take place after the second service in Fellowship Hall.

BETHEL FLOTILLA
Memorial Day Monday, May 30th is the day for Bethel Flotilla! We're putting together a group of outdoor-loving folks into canoes or kayaks, and riding the Allegheny River from Tidioute to Tionesta, PA (about 2 hours from Bethel, northwest of the Allegheny National Forest). This is a 15-mile stretch on the river, which takes about 5-6 hours to complete for recreational-grade arms normal folk like us come with, so don't worry: it's not like Iron Man marathons and such. There's a Facebook event page set up, also you can always stop Mark or Angelo Sun and ask for details. Prices vary from $45 to $17 per vessel (not per person!), depending on your choice of 2-person canoe, 2-person kayak, single person kayak, or whether you'll be using your own gear. Families are able to ride the same canoe, as they are rated for up to 1,200 lbs. It's a beautiful, scenic ride down a quiet river, the perfect getaway for those who love to spend time outside enjoying nature and its beauty! Hope you can join us, let Angelo or Mark know!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!!!!!
It’s that time again ~ sunshine, fun times and VBS!! Mark your calendar for the week of June 20th! Please be listening for God’s whisper as to where He wants you to serve during Bethel’s VBS this summer. Is it Crafts, Bible Story, Rec, Snacks, Prayer Warrior, Crew Leader, or something else? Please let Karen Beatty know how you might be able to help lead our young people during our “SONsurf Beach Bash”.
You may have heard some say--"No one asked me. If they had I would have offered!" The Youth/Young Adult Pastor Search Committee was inspired to ask. If anyone has a home or property that they feel lead to donate or lend to the church to be used as housing for the next Youth/Young Adult Pastor please contact Rusty George or Pastor Mark Tippin. Thank you.
Please join Shawn and Heidi Sensky in celebrating the graduation of Cassie on Friday, June 10, 2011 from 6:00PM – 9:00PM in Bethel’s Fellowship Hall.
