Copies of the 2018 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 ageappropriate
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.
If someone could deliver the presents to
Bethany, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a schedule of times and dates for
deliveries in the office.
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
