Bethany Women’s Ministry will be collecting items to Help Our Local Domestic Violence Center in Hartwell. The following donations are needed and greatly appreciated as women/children arrive a lot of times with only the clothes on their backs in the middle of the night for help. Please pray and give as you feel lead by the Holy Spirit. Items Needed: Hygiene Products ( i.e. Deodorant, Soap, shampoo/conditioner, brush, toothbrush and paste), Ethnic Hair products (highly suggested), Feminine products, Paper Products (toilet paper & paper towels), Stuffed animals, Diapers size 3-5 are most needed, Wipes, Baby Shampoo, Pull ups, Non-perishable foods for their pantry

There is a Parent/Child Room at the back of the Sanctuary for children who may become restless during the service. Please use when necessary.

During the service guests will have an opportunity to fill out a CARE card so that we may have a record of your visit. Members and guests alike can also use the

CARE card to make us aware of prayer requests.

Our mission is to build relationships

through SHARING the gospel of Jesus

Christ to the lost, CARING for one

another, and PREPARING Christians for

lifelong service.
