Many thanks!
The people of Bethlehem would like to offer their thanks to all those visitors and friends who helped with or attended our bicentennial celebration. Thanks especially to Bro. Spurrier for leading the music during the event. It was wonderful to see so many friends and family of the church gathered to recognize Bethlehem's heritage. Thanks to Natalie and Joyce for developing the program for the bicentennial.
Thanks again to all those (especially the Brown, Boswell, and Bivins families) who worked so hard on the new Fellowship Hall. As the meal at the bicentennial showed, it is a beautiful, wonderful place for our church family to gather and share.
We want to invite and welcome anyone who is interested to come be part of our church family as we begin our journey into the next 200 years!
Pictures of the Bicentennial events will be posted here soon!
