Annual Bethany Pie Sunday!
This Sunday, July 5th is this year's date to taste everyone's favorite, during coffee hour after worship. Please bring a pie, cobbler, crisp or any variation—homemade or purchased. We will provide ice cream if you want to go "a la mode". Leftovers will be sent home for you to share with others. Let's celebrate 250 years of the most American of desserts! 
B&G Help Needed!
All hands-on deck needed to move a roomful of items from the education building to the former choir room. The move will take place from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 18, but not before donuts and coffee. No stairs or heavy lifting is required. Please come pitch in, and thanks. Rachel Pritchett,
Fire Safety Talk with BI Fire Marshall
Bainbridge Island Fire Marshal Jackie Purviance will take a look around the perimeter of Bethany to spot any vegetation that might add to fire risk. She has some good advice about what we can do around our homes, too. Come join us at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 16, at the front door. Bring a friend. ---Rachel Pritchett, Buildings and Grounds
Time & Talent Surveys!
If you did not already send in your Time and Talent Survey or did not get one, they can be found outside of the sanctuary.
Red Wagon Sunday!
This Sunday is Red Wagon Sunday! Please remember to bring your non-perishable food as well as cleaning and personal care products. These last two categories are not part of SNAP benefits but are important to us all in daily life. In addition, Helpline has the following request: “Many families facing food insecurity, pets are beloved members of the family and keeping them fed can be a real challenge. And for many of us, a warm cup of coffee is a simple comfort that helps start the day. If you're able, please consider donating: Dog food, Cat food, Ground coffee." Thank you for your part in sharing God's care and love with our neighbors!
