TRANSPORTATION HELP NEEDED: Bethel’s 2nd Family Ministry is looking for a few more good drivers to help support our growing transportation program. The tasks are very easy, usually just taking someone to church and then back home whenever you attend. There will be an occasional request to bring someone to a doctor’s appointment. The process works very smoothly as our Transportation Coordinator, Stephany Green, will process and fill out all transportation requests. We just need to let her know if you can support a specific request and she will contact the person requesting the support with specific pick-up times etc.
