Blessings to Mike Peper

Mike’s official last day serving First is Dec. 31. Hopefully, I’ll have a couple opportunities to say this in person for myself, but I hope all our members and friends of First Lutheran make time to thank Mike for his 14 years of faithful service. He and his wife, Mary, look forward to spending even more time with their beloved grandkids, and who can blame them? May God bless them for many years to come! Happy retirement, Mike!

Bingo Bucks Wishlist

Numerous times a week the Bethany Riverside residents play Bingo.  Many of you help with Bingo on a regular basis, and it is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.  In case you didn't know, once a month Bethany Riverside opens its "Bingo  Bucks Store."  The residents can spend their Bingo Bucks from winning Bingo during the month.  Bethany Riverside tries to have a good assortment of small items and snacks, but has a very limited budget for these items. If you are able to help out, know that the residents would be very grateful!
