The diners always enjoy Bethany's meal and we got our usual round of applause. All the fruit & vegetables were used; a partial pan of unused scalloped potatoes and the remaining ham went to Metro Turning Point, which is also regularly supported by Bethany's Local Outreach Committee.

A designated week may be chosen and dedicated simply by signing the church roster found in the Narthex. You will then be contacted prior to “your Sunday” for details for your dedication and where a tax receipt may be included.
