Jody Rice OUR FREE SHOPPING DAYS last weekend at Bethel Church were a blessing to many! Please keep all those who came through the doors of Bethel Church in your prayers. May God receive the glory for physical needs met and that through these free gifts, people will either be drawn closer to the Lord or have a desire to know our generous God. With this week being Easter, perhaps all the blessings received will help people better understand the "free gift" of salvation that is proclaimed from Christian pulpits today. Thank you to all for making these gifts available to our community, especially to Vonda and Tara for their days of planning and organizing, the Ignite youth group for their help in sorting and picking up items, all others who helped sort and represent Bethel to our community, Mark B. for caring for signs and to Julian for making our clothes racks! SHOPPING AT COBORNS? Today is the last day to earn Ham Stamps at Coborns. Please consider donating your receipts with the stamps on them to Bethel. We will consolidate those that we receive and if we have 63 stamps donated, Bethel can receive a free ham which our Deacons will decide how to best use. Feel free to bring them to Bethel any time prior to April 25 for us to redeem them. We have redeemed the stamps given to-date for four hams. Thank you in advance for donating your receipts!
