“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.” Psalm 130:5

Good morning, friends,

We invite you to join us for virtual worship today! You may find today’s service on YouTube, posted to our Bethel UMC Facebook page and shared on our Bethel website. Links to these sites and an order of worship are shared below. 

**ANNOUNCEMENTS**
Thank you to everyone who supported our Homeless No More fundraiser on Tuesday evening. With the help of Spuddering Around Food Truck (they donated 10% of their profits from sales that night!) We raised over $100 and collected two mini-vans worth of supplies. SUPER! Bethel UMC you are so generous. THANKS SO MUCH!

Next up is the Haute Dog truck in August with a school supply drive for Epworth Children’s Home. Stay tuned!

Looking for a Project? For many of us we are at the point where we need something else to occupy our time.  At some point in the late fall, I hope to have a Silent Auction for afghans and or baby blankets. Would you be willing to knit or crochet one or the other – both would be great! All proceeds will go to Bethel’s scholarship fund.  It was with great pleasure that  a scholarship was awarded to Lindsay Conrath for $2500.00 to help with her college expenses ! We’re one of the few churches that offers a scholarship to a deserving high school senior graduate.  For the last 25 years we have given thousands of dollars to our graduates!  Please let me  know if you’re interested.  Your help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!  Bonnie Lutz   803 – 667-0495
