Dear Friends,
We promise you won't get many letters like this from us. But we need your
help. Protecting the meeting house and grounds before winter comes is very
important so that there is hope to rebuild this piece of history and so that
it might serve the community again.
Keri and I do not want to beg for money. However this is an important
project for us. We have decided to go forward with this effort regardless of
the financial support we get or there the lack of.
Please consider helping us with the efforts to protect the Bethel Church and
its burial grounds. We have added a donation link (pay pal and credit card)
on the main Bethel Website Page:

We need to buy about $2000 worth of building supplies for this part of the
project and we have very little time left.
This includes about 20 pieces of plywood, 3 doors and frame kits, and paint.
We really need your help and your groups help. $150 buys a door and $25 buys
a sheet of plywood.
If your groups are near the area we would appreciate help with skilled or
even non skilled volunteer help. If your group is near and can help with
some of the supplies we would really appreciate it.
Please consider helping us if you can. If your congregation or organization
could help it would be much appreciated.
We will be in the area of the church almost every week if you like to
arrange to drop something off, or help with any of the efforts.
Pastor Neil Carrick
