Bethlehem Center Senior Food Bag Collection Sunday, November 11, Narthex. Our goal: 100 food bags for the Bethlehem Center’s Senior Thanksgiving Luncheon on November 15. To make things easy, go across the street to Kroger, grab one of the prepacked bags, and pay at the register. Then bring it back to the Red Truck in our parking lot. Serving Team members will be on hand so you won’t even have to get out of the car! Cost is around $15. If Kroger no longer has pre-packed bags, grab a list, fill a bag, bring it back to BUMC and we will deliver those to GraceWorks.
