2. MISSIONS TEAM MEETING-  There is a Missions Team meeting on Thursday, January 22nd at 4:30 pm. Please reach out to Jacquee Lawrence if you are interested in joining.

3. HELPING HANDS- Become a part of the team of volunteers that make our worship experience here at Bethany so special. It takes many hands to make worship service, communion, and fellowship coffee time run smoothly. There are several ways you can help:

•    Would you be willing to serve as a greeter or an usher? Volunteering for even one or two Sundays a quarter would be helpful.
•    Interested in reading the announcements, call to worship, and scripture? Being a worship leader is a great opportunity to serve. 
•    Are you able to make coffee and bring some treats to help with our after-service fellowship? Maybe team up with a friend to make the task easier. 
For more information, please sign up on the bulletin board, email the office at info@bfvumc.org, or call the office at 630-851-8010. Thank you in advance for your support.

4. FOOD PANTRY- We are continuing our efforts to support the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry.  In addition to non-perishable food, especially items like canned potatoes and corn, they are also in need of empty egg cartons. Thank you for your ongoing support!

5. MARTIN LUTHER KING - Martin Luther King Jr.'s belief in a 'beloved community' — a community characterized by justice, equality, and love — was deeply rooted in his Christian faith. Today we commemorate and honor Martin Luther King Jr.
