I'm currently President of Bethany’s church Council. I have been a member of Bethany for 37 years.  During my time at Bethany, I have served in various roles:  Sunday school teacher, Council member and president several times, participated in the music program (bells and choir), and assisted with readings and ushering as able.  I also helped with Family Promise in preparing food and serving as a chaperone. For the past three years I have helped with the finances, budget, and audit.  I am also involved in caring for the roses. 

​Serving Bethany is my way of giving back to others and to the church.
