E-Announcements - January 28, 2015
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (NIV)

Bethany Presbyterian Church
6415 West Clinton Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102 | (216) 651-0040
1) Does anyone in the Presbytery have an Electrician that can install a DOORBELL? Bethany’s doorbell broke and we could use a new one installed, but are not sure how to do it ourselves.
2) Request for STURDY CHAIRS of an office/ conference/ dining room variety. Bethany is in need of some sturdy chairs that are not folding chairs. If we could get a few that have arms to assist people with limited mobility that would be great too. But mostly they just need to be very sturdy and not likely to collapse under people. Many thanks!
