Attached is a pdf of the Aqui Fundraiser Flier. Come to Aqui in Cupertino tomorrow evening between 4pm & 7pm to support this year’s youth trip to the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans. Make sure to either give the flier (or just mention you’re with Bethel) to the cashier and our youth will get 20% of the income that night towards our trip. Thanks for ALL your support.

Hi Friends,
Here’s a reminder that for Sunday School tomorrow, we’re participating in the Seder Meal. Please be in the Sanctuary at 9am for the start of the first service. We’ll then leave with the younger kids over to Torvend Hall for the meal. Please spread the word.
Shalom, Tom

Dear Friends,

This upcoming Wednesday night, when having our New Orleans check in, we will be discussing Baptism. Please try and bring a lovely photo of you on your special Baptism day to contribute to the discussion. More info as to specifics of this upcoming Wednesday will be shared later in time, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!

Love your Lovely Youth Assitants,

Hi Friends,
Here’s a post with 10 attached pdf’s giving you all the info you need for this year’s Mission to Mexico Trip (April 18th – 22nd). Of special not are the two letters from Esperanza and The American Consulate in Tijuana highlighting current safety conditions in Tijuana. The news is good news for us, but it is always difficult to fight the miss-perceptions that are out there. If you know anyone that is staying away from the trip because of safety concerns, please have them talk with me. We would love to have you join us

So, here are the pdf’s for you:
Peace, Tom
