Instead of giving you more impersonal history this time, I thought I would give you some of my personal memories. I started at the church when I was two years old so I have been at the church for 48 years. These are some of the things I remember about growing up at this church.
My earliest memories are of Mrs. Letkeman being my Sunday School teacher in the now storage room under the stairs. I remember she made a really cozy area under the stairs with pillows and dolls. I just loved it! I think there might be paint in that area right now. I remember Mr. Williams at all those Sunday School Picnics handing out the ice cream that had the little wooden spoons. Pioneer Girls was always very special with all the handcrafts that Mrs. Johnson did with the girls and then there was the play, Queen Esther. I never forgot that Bible story
There was playing Sardines (a hide and seek game) and car rallies with the young people. Then as I got older, I became the one teaching and helping others as I continued to learn myself.

What wonderful memories do you have of Bethel?
SUMMER READING
Summer is a great time to read those books you seem to never have time for in the winter. The library continues to be open during the summer. Usually a few minutes prior to church and about 15 minutes after the church service.
