October is Minister Appreciation Month but we would like to let our Pastor, David Lord, and his wife, Cheryl, know that we appreciate all that they do for our church family all year long.  Below are some of the great activities that David has help initiate and he and Cheryl have participated in over the past year.

Bethlehem United Methodist Church (UMC) and Epworth UMC offer an opportunity for charitable giving through “Glorious Gifts Too,” a program with church roots, which provides an added boost to a variety of local, national, and international charities at Christmas time. Such charities often find their resources drawn upon most heavily during the holiday season. “Glorious Gifts, Too” makes it possible to provide a gift to a charity in the name of someone we wish to honor.
