DEDICATION SUNDAY SET FOR APRIL 26

Just twenty-two months after a fire destroyed the historic sanctuary, and a year after ground was broken for a new building, on April 26 the Bethany congregation will dedicate the building that took its place.

The dedication service will take place at 3 p.m., followed by a reception with refreshments in the fellowship hall. All are welcome to attend.

During the dedication, the firefighters who tried to save the building will be thanked, along with people, churches and groups that helped in the aftermath of the fire and during the reconstruction. Also, those people of Bethany who worked hard to make the new building possible, and the families that gave stained glass windows, chancel furniture, organ and piano, will be recognized.

We warmly invite all those who in any way have helped make the new building possible to attend and receive our grateful thanks.

Plan Now for the August Camping Trip

In order to reserve camping sites for the Myrtle Beach family camping trip August 7-9, those planning to go must inform the activities committee by April 30, and specify the type of site they want--camper site, camping cabin or tent space.

The event will be at the KOA campground, which is convenient to the beach, Putt Putt, shopping and other attractions. Everyone had a great time last year. Come join us!

DEATH NOTICES

We are sad to learn of the deaths of Oleene Cayton, mother of Kelly Jones; Dewitt Cowell, brother of Guy Cowell; and Annalene Ensley Lilley, sister of Clara Ensley and Evelyn Beeman.

We offer our prayers and condolences to their families and loved ones, and rejoice that they are with Christ.
