Churchwide letter going out

Hi everyone, 

Just a note to tell you that you’ll be receiving a letter from Bethany most likely  tomorrow announcing a congregational meeting on Sunday, Oct. 15. The letter contains a proposed resolution from the church’s Land Utilization Task Force regarding the undeveloped portion of the Bethany premises. It also addresses proposed changes to the Bethany constitution. You can find documents related to these two topics under the “Constitution” tab on this site. Window coverings also will be address at the meeting.

See you there.

Blood drive at Bethany nets 27 units

Good morning,

Bethany offers space to a number of community and nonprofit groups during the week. Puget Sound BloodWorks is among them, visiting Bethany about a half-dozen times a year. At its most recent drive on Sept. 29, 32 people donated blood, including one first-time donor, according to the organization. It appears there’s a community of donors that give regularly. Those who gave blood at the drive gave a total of 27 units, which Puget Sound BloodWorks estimates will serve 90 patients.

In all, Puget Sound BloodWorks has 230,000 registered donors, and the blood collect serves 90 hospitals in the Northwest. Three thousand volunteers help.
