Copies of the 2014 Christmas Wish List are on the table
in the Narthex. Please note that the children at Bethany
are teenagers. Specific gift items are included on the
Christmas Wish List or if you prefer, the children love to
receive gift cards to department stores, craft stores, area
malls, etc. Please 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. Just drop them in the box wrapped in
Christmas paper in the Narthex.
[Death, Resurrection Foretold] As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the road He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify, and on the third day He will be raised up.” — Matthew 20: 17-19 (NASV)
