The youth will provide a fundraiser meal after the meeting.
You are invited to Pastor Joanna’s house for a church board game night on Sat., Jan. 31, starting at 6:30. Bring games and/or snacks to share if you’d like–we’ll have plenty on hand. (Contact Joanna if you need her address: joanna@bethelcollegemennonitechurch.org.)
