button Today is GRANDPARENTS DAY! GRANDPARENTS DAY serves to honor and recognize the contributions of grandparents in our lives. Grandparents link us with wisdom and love to family ties, our pasts, and they connect us to important values, beliefs and ideals that can be passed to future generations. Remember to show appreciation to all Grandparents today and every day!

button REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11, 2001! Americans watched in horror as the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, left nearly 3,000 people dead in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. For most who are old enough to remember, it is a day that is impossible to forget. In many ways, 9/11 reshaped how
Americans think of war and peace, their own personal safety, and their fellow citizens. We can never forget 9/11! Take a moment to lift in prayer the families of those who lost their lives as we remember 9/11 on September 11th.
button LOVING HANDS YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM will resume after-school services on October 15th. We will be accepting applications for the FY-’25 school term as soon as they are available from DHS. If you want to be placed on our waiting list, please let us know. Youth ages 5-18 and who meet eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply. For additional information, please contact Sister Gloria Ogletree or Sister Linda Olivier.
button Just a reminder that we have set aside two times per year to sow sacrificially to our BURN THE MORTGAGE PROJECT. Bethelites are encouraged to sow a seed of $500.00 or $1,000.00 above regular tithes and offerings toward this effort. Please note that additional levels of giving have been added to BMP- Gold Level $4,000.00; Silver Level $2,000.00; and Bronze Level $1,000.00 (over a 2-year period). Anyone who desires
can also sow in memory of a deceased member of the Bethel Nation. You can pay installments on your pledge or give the amount pledged in one payment. Let’s get ready for the next sacrificial giving on church anniversary- November 10th. Remember that our goal is to raise money to pay off our mortgage.
button Bethelites, please remember that when you miss church or STREAM our worship celebrations, you can still make your financial contributions. There are four ways to make your contribution. First, you can make your contributions through PAYPAL. Secondly, you can use the GIVELIFY mobile giving App to make your donations.
