STITCHED WITH LOVE MINISTRY: Here is another opportunity for you to volunteer at Bethel. “Stitched with Love” is where you can make or donate crocheted or knitted items for infants and children. These can include white baby afghans that are given at baptisms or items like booties, layettes, quilts, stuffed animals, etc. for gifts for newborns. We also make a variety of handmade items throughout the year for donation to foster children through “Cases of Love”.
STEPHEN MINISTRY: Do you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or relative who has been struggling with the loss of a loved one, loneliness, cancer, a layoff, relocation, divorce, a spiritual crisis, single parenthood, or any of the countless other life challenges? Our Stephen Ministers can provide them with the focused care and support they need to make it through.
