Bethany UMC Weekly Announcements

 

Apple Dumpling Dough Making
Please plan to stay after church on Sunday to make apple dumpling dough. With lots of help, we can finish in a short time. ALL ingredients need to be at church on Sunday morning. Also, we could use some extra rolling pins for making the dumplings next Wednesday. Please keep selling those dumplings. They will be ready by 2:00 on Wednesday! Thank you for everyone’s support!
