The first members of the Bethany family had their photos taken for the upcoming church directory May 6. About 15 photos were taken in less than 30 minutes, so it only takes a couple of minutes.

Please don’t forget to sign up on the sheet in the narthex to get your picture taken so we can have a complete directory. We will be taking pictures from 12 pm to 1 pm May 13, May 20 and May 27.

Bethany will publish a church photo directory this summer that will be distributed to all the members of the church family. Photos will be taken at the church each Sunday in May between noon and 1 pm, beginning May 6. Before taking the photos, Emily Harper will collect updated information for the directory.

The photos (and entries in the directory) will be individual (not family groups) in order to achieve consistency in size and quality, but all family members may be photographed and listed in the directory. There will be a sign-up sheet in the narthex beginning April 22. Please be sure to sign yourself and your family members up for one of the Sundays in May!

Be careful opening emails. There are email messages being sent that appear to be from AT&T and Verizon (and perhaps other companies) that if clicked on take the recipient to another, perhaps malicious, website.

To check authenticity, let your cursor hover over a link to see if it directs to the company it purports to be from, or to another website that you don’t recognize. CAUTION: If your cursor is set to access the link after hovering for a second or two, don’t do it.

Bethany held a luncheon last Sunday after worship in honor of Merritt Watson on his 70th birthday anniversary. After Merritt’s recent altercations with a steel girder and other head-hunting objects, the perfect gift was obvious: a hardhat. But it was such an obvious present, that he received two!

A beautiful cake

A couple of hardhats

And good food, of course.
