“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not
send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him."
John 3:16-17

The family of John McKissick expresses their heartfelt thank
you to everyone at Bethany who so thoughtfully gave their time and talents to ensure
that his memorial service on Monday, December 2nd, progressed smoothly. The words
spoken by both Pastor Mitch and Pastor Mark were caring and thoughtful and touched
our hearts in a very special way. Michael’s music was amazing, and the vocalists
reached out and touched our souls. Jack’s attention to detail made each transition flow
smoothly, and Lawrence and his group of ushers made sure that we were all well cared
for. Shirley’s “Helping Hands” group of ladies provided a wonderful meal for our family
and made sure that everyone had exactly what they needed. Danny worked hard to
make sure that we all were able to receive DVDs of the service to add to our
keepsakes. So many others behind the scenes were there to make sure that we all were
comfortable and had whatever we needed. The kindness of the hundreds of people
who visited and attended his service gave us the strength to withstand a very emotional
day. We have received so much from so many, and we cherish the love, support, and
prayers that will sustain us as we learn to adjust to our lives without our loved one’s
earthly presence. Thank you so much.
KidsCare News February is the “Love Month” around
KidsCare! We are learning Bible verses
that speak of love this month! We are
doing acts of kindness this month. If
you love with your “Jesus Heart” then
you love unconditionally. He loves us
and talks to his Father for us. There
was a popular song a few years ago
that painted the picture of getting to heaven and being met
at the gate by Jesus. He takes you to God and says, “Here
Father, please let this one in because he is with me!” Let us
pray that we can learn to love like Jesus! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY and remember to love others with
your “Jesus heart.”

Bethany Happy Hearts Bethany Happy Hearts Luncheon – Friday, February 28th
The next luncheon meeting of Bethany Happy Hearts will be on Friday, February 28th at 12:00 noon.
The guests will be The DUOvers make their home in Lexington, SC. Lead singer and guitarist, Van Bowers, grew up in Travelers Rest, SC and found a love for clas-sic country, rock, and bluegrass music at an early age. After receiving his first gui-tar as a present from his girlfriend and now wife, he taught himself to play and has followed his love (wife and guitar), ever since playing and singing with several lo-cal bands. Lead guitarist Lewis (Sharkey) Taylor started playing in Honky Tonks in and around his hometown of Augusta, Georgia at age 15. Lewis has been a “go to” guitarist over the years for several bands of different genres, and he spent several years out on the road as a touring musician. The latest member of the band is drummer Mike Danielsen (Mike is the Prevattes’ nephew-in-law). Mike is an expe-rienced drummer having played in several bands over the years. As a trained ge-ologist and drummer, Mike has naturally earned the name “Dr. Rock.” The DUOvers bring a fun filled show, covering classics from artists such as Johnny Cash, Way-lon Jennings, and Merle Haggard. If the crowd wants to rock, the DUOvers can bring that too, covering classics from artists such as Chuck Berry, Elvis, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Rolling Stones, and many more.
Bethany Happy Hearts Luncheon is always open to all Bethany Members and their guests who would like to attend, but reservations are required. Both members and guests must call Linda Field at 843-832-9925 or email her at [email protected] to make reservations by Sunday, February 23rd.
Our menu for the February meeting includes ham with ccallop otatoes, steamed carrots with a ginger garlic butter, salad bar, frog eye salad for dessert, roll w/butter, and tea/water, with lemon. The cost of the meal is $8 per person.

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play these games, someone will teach you. The object is to have fun. Everyone that en-joys playing card or board games is welcome to join us.
