MERCY’S GATE HOLIDAY MEAL BASKETS
MERCY’S GATE HOLIDAY MEAL BASKETS: Thank you to everyone who donated a grocery bag of food and a grocery gift card for non-perishable items! We currently are eight (8) gift cards short. If you have not handed in your gift card donation or feel you want to contribute to the gift card shortage, please bring your contributions to the Bethel Church Office as soon as possible. Distribution of the Thanksgiving Meal Baskets will be Saturday, November 23, from 8:30am to 10:30am in the Narthex. We will provide a continental breakfast and share fellowship with the families picking up their baskets. Many of the families express deep gratitude, not just for the meal but for the kindness and hope your generosity brings. Witnessing their joy is heartwarming. So come join us this Saturday and fill yourself with some holiday spirit.
WINTER CLOTHING DONATION CAMPAIGN
WINTER CLOTHING DONATION CAMPAIGN: The Bethel Senior group is sponsoring a campaign to help those without adequate clothing and shelter during the cold winter months by collecting donations of winter gear (Tarps, blankets, sleeping bags, winter coats, stocking hats, wool socks, mittens, gloves, etc.). Donation boxes will be in the Narthex until December 1st. Thank you for your generosity.
EYEGLASSES FOR CAMBODIA
EYEGLASSES FOR CAMBODIA: Bethel is sending an Outreach Christmas Package of prescription eyeglasses to Cambodia.

If you or your friends and neighbors have old, unused eyeglasses to donate, please bring them to the Bethel office by December 1st.

Gifts should be returned to the church UNWRAPPED with the tag attached. Donations of gift wrap and bags are welcome. The deadline is Sunday, December 8th. Thank you for making a difference in the life of a child!

God Chooses The Most Unlikely People
God Chooses the most unlikely people, like the shepherds, to announce the birth of the Savior of the world. Amazingly, God even chooses people like you!
