God’s work. Our hands. Sunday Plans

Posted on August 26, 2016 by Pastor
Just a reminder that God’s work. Our Hands. Sunday is September 11th. This year we have two activities scheduled as of now.
 
First, we will be gathering a group to go to Crestview Nursing Center and do a hymn sing at 11:00 a.m. Our organist Seth will be sticking around to accompany the group that is going. Look for more information on that to come.
 
Second, we will be hosting a car wash at Bethany from 11:oo a.m. – 1:00 p.m. This car wash is free of charge; however, if folks do want to give a cash donation they will go to the Weekend Hunger Program at Hoover Elementary school. We will provide some light refreshments for those who come while they wait for their car to be washed.
 
Again, stay posted for further details.
