First is collecting school supplies for Lutheran World Relief school kits, which we will assemble as part of the ELCA’s God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday and First Fest on Sept. 8. Our goal is to assemble 500 kits before school starts. Bring donations to the altar before/after worship or during offering. For more information contact Bridget Crave.

Numerous times a week the Bethany Riverside residents play Bingo.  Many of you help with Bingo on a regular basis, and it is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.  In case you didn't know, once a month Bethany Riverside opens its "Bingo  Bucks Store."  The residents can spend their Bingo Bucks from winning Bingo during the month.  Bethany Riverside tries to have a good assortment of small items and snacks, but has a very limited budget for these items. If you are able to help out, know that the residents would be very grateful!
