Copies of the 2010 Christmas Wish List and 2010 Christmas Year Round List are on the table in the Narthex. Please be aware that the children at Bethany are between the ages of 13 and 18 years old. If you prefer, the children love to receive gift cards to department stores, craft stores, area malls, etc. Specific gift items are included on the Christmas Wish List. All they ask is that you choose age-appropriate gifts with consideration for parental warnings, modest clothing and safety. The gifts should not be wrapped since Bethany’s staff will do that. Their Christmas Year Round Fund asks for donations which will be used to provide gifts for special occasions like birthdays and funds for special group activities like going to the movies or their annual day-out at Knoebels.

For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Pay to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor. — Romans 13:6-7 (NASV)
