Renovations
The vision for Bethel's blessings and successes was embedded in the words, "Step By Step." God has truly blessed the church family of Bethel through the renovations of the church's kitchen, installation of new tile and carpeting in the sanctuary and refurbishing of the pews.
Through the unselfish leadership and loving guidance of Reverends George and Nerma Chretian, the first and second phases of the church renovations have been achieved. The third phase will be the re-upholstering of the pulpit chairs.
Believing in the visitation for Bethel's growth and stepping out on faith to see a successful end product, the following members and their donations are listed below:
Revs George and Norma Chretian Double satin stainless steel sinks Sister Vera Adams and husband Johnnie $3,000.00 Sister Lois Andrus and husband Joseph All faucets Brother Michael Andrus Paint and varnish Brother Leo Augustine $100.00 Sister Grace Brown and nephew John Wicker $900.00 Brother Otis Bias Meals for workers Brother Ralph and Sister Dora Byers $200.00 Brother James Harmon Hood for stove Sister Rose Jacob $200.00 Sister Yvonne Mills, Brittney and Ashley New Stove and $5,818.00 (new carpet and tile in sanctuary) (Donated in memory of her husband Rex Mills, Jr. and mother-in-law Ruby Mills) Sister Lisa Rochester and family Microwave Mr. & Mrs. Michael Robinson Freezer Brother Roosevelt and Sister Octavia Solomon Double satin stainless steel sinks Brother Fred Williams $100.00 Sister Ruth Wilson and Jeffrey, Melanie and $1,000.00 Stephanie Andrus Bros Issac Mayfield and W.
