Congregational Care Circle Leaders Update |
|
Bethlehem’s Congregation Care Committee is comprised of a group of dedicated and nurturing Circle of Friends’ Leaders who are available to church members who live near them.
Many healing ministries of Bethlehem are coordinated through Congregational Care and implemented during times of occasional stress in which church members need support or special resources. Circle Leaders can connect members with individuals or groups who are able to assist with meals, transportation, childcare, housekeeping, yard work and the like when emergency care situations arise necessitating help. Circle Leaders regularly touch base with members to encourage them, pray for them and see whether anyone needs a helping hand.
Based on locality, church members are assigned to one of 12 Circles. Circle Leaders/Co-Leaders are still needed for:
- Circle # 2 (Long Island, Merriman Way)
- Circle #4 (Mariner’s Landing, Huddleston)
- Circle #6 (Wirtz, Hardy)
- Circle #8 (Hardy, Wirtz, Rocky Mt., Roanoke)
- Circle #13 (Moneta north of bridge, Bedford, Forest)
If you like encouraging others and lending a helping hand from time to time, please consider serving as a Circle Leader or Co-Leader. It’s a vital ministry that you can do from home and normally only takes a few hours a month. Email Randi Paul, Congregational Care Chair, for more information.

Thanks to all those who helped with the Kitchen Clean-Up and Inventory! We found many dishes that are personally owned. Check the Fellowship Hall to see if you have a dish there!
Thanks, the Hospitality Committee

Hope you are all finding something you like on the Harvest Table. Spring greens are winding down, but the green beans and squashes have flowers. Fruit will soon follow. Summer produce will soon be ready for harvest! Keep checking the table.
The Harvest Table is open after worship (both services) on
Sunday mornings. Thanks to all who contribute to the harvest!
Here's a green tip for June...
On a warm drizzly day grab some rags and a kid or friend or two and go play in the rain—oh, and help the rain wash your car. Wipe it down. Add a bit of competition or music for crazy dancing moves! But no running water, just the rain for a rinse job. Fun for you and good for the Earth—the car too.
