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.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NASV)
