Bethel is going to be a “host church” for the Mid-Missouri Mission Team (3MT) June
17–23. We will be assigned a group of about 8–10 teens. They will join us for church
on Sunday, July 18th. We will need someone to provide local leadership for this group
as they do a work mission project in Versailles Monday through Friday, 8:00–3:00. In
addition, we are responsible to provide a noon meal for the whole group of about 50
teens on Thursday of that week, which will be served at the Presbyterian Church in
Versailles. We do not need to provide housing. If you are interested in helping with
this, please contact Pastor Dave.
Thank You: We want to thank you for your prayers, gifts of food, phone calls, memorials
and kind words given at the passing of our mother and sister, Kathy Nikkel. The
church family was very important to Kathy. God is good all the time. Kathy is greatly
missed. Sincerely, Homer and Twila, Russell and Julie Goering, James Nikkel.
Please submit bulletin information by noon on Thursdays. Thanks!
