    WIM -Bethany's Women in Mission
    For May and summer months, WIM is donating  $200 to support in-house celebrations and fellowship at Bethany Lutheran Church. 

    WIM is sunsetting this year. All funds will be expended by the end of this fiscal year, August 31, 2025. WIM was an outgrowth of the Mary Martha Guild at Bethany Lutheran Church.  WIM took shape in 2019. Proceeds have been distributed to Lutheran and local charities. Pat Buerger has been the treasurer since 2019 and took over from Florence Wall.

    Thanks to all who brought goodies to share for the Easter potluck. Thanks also to Joan, Pat and Donna who worked on decorations and generally facilitated the festivities.  

    We will continue with Sunday Coffee Hour after the 9:30 AM worship service right on through the summer. It's all about FELLOWSHIP.  Please consider signing up to host a Sunday. The sign-up sheet is in the Bethany Family Center near the door.
