BETHANY CARES AT EASTER: Lent is upon us, that means Easter is right around the corner. We want to continue to spread our love to those in need in our community. Last year, Bethany Cares at Easter provided food baskets to over 100 families. We anticipate this year the need in our community will be greater. In addition, inflation will make this worthy project more expensive. We are grateful the Church Women United gave us $3,000 towards this worthy project. We challenge you to help us match that donation. To date we have received donations in the amount of $1750. Please consider giving a monetary donation to reach our goal, just note on your check that it is fore “Bethany Cares.” Thank you for your generosity. Please note we will not be collecting food donations as in the past.
