Are you focused on external appearances or genuine inner purity in your faith? Jesus challenged superficial religion, reminding us that true faith prioritizes what's inside over outward show.

From Bethel,
May this chapter be filled with joy, rest, and family. We are all going to miss you here in the office! You are a gift! Congratulations on your retirement! Thank You!

—A Note of Thanks—
Dear Church Family
I wanted to thank you so much for your gifts in recognition of my 21 years of serving here at Bethel in the church office. I also wanted to let you know that I will be retiring at the end of this month to take care of business related to the death of my parents in the last few months. I also hope to spend more time with my children, grandchildren, and friends as well as volunteering and enjoying my hobbies of sewing/quilting.
Love, Jennifer Gooch
