Candelabras from the past, but how far?

Good morning, everyone,

What do you think of these candelabras? Volunteers found these and more, 13 in all, in a forgotten corner of the furnace room when they were cleaning it out. These old wrought-iron pieces are ornate and beautiful in one respect, but showing their age in another. Elements of them include intricate handmade welding. We’re trying to figure out the disposition for these pieces. Part of that decision rests on their historic use at the church, which might have been forgotten. If you know how there were used, here or at the old church on Pleasant Beach, please contact the office. They’re temporarily in the church office, if you would like to take a look.

Thanks,

Rachel Pritchett, office administrator

CROP Walk coming September 24

This year's CROP Walk to fight hunger near and far takes place Sunday, Sept. 24. Bethany youth will join Pastor Paul in setting up and dismantling the route markers. Sign up on the bulletin board. The route starts and ends at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church. Registration is at 1:30 p.m. and the walk starts at 2 p.m. Sponsor packets are available at Bethany. The event sponsored by Church World Services typically raises thousands at Bethany and in the community for the cause.

Bethany, by the way, will have  a "Mini CROP Walk" here involving kids and families who might not otherwise make that long a walk. Stay tuned for details.
