 “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” John 13:34

‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’ Matthew 11:28-30

Congregational Members are reminded that 2026 Church Envelopes are now ready to be picked up at the Church Entrance. If anyone would like envelopes or to make a change, or have any questions, please speak to Bert Parsons.

A reminder that other giving options include EMT and PAR. Speak to Ashley at our Office for more information, 709-596-6754.

And, if we have the ability, let us add a special love gift for the Lord’s mission.

A reminder to ALL United Families about the importance of being a regular contributor to the mission and ministry of your church as your Officers have ongoing commitments on your behalf. Let us bring the full tithe in before year’s end so we continue to build our FUTURE:

Genesis 14:18-20: “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.’ Then Abram gave him one-tenth of everything.”

Bethany United Sunday School Classes are on Sundays at 11 am. All welcome! For more information, call Mrs. Terri Green, Superintendent.  Let us continue to pray for an increase each week. Extend an invitation to all.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Malachi 3:10

** Please note: We are in need of a new sound mixer at the church. All parishioners are invited to make a special donation over and above regular contributions in order to help secure this needed equipment at the church. Thank you in advance.
