Church Property improvements
The Ladies' Aid Of Bethel Methodist I
church has had hardwood floors put in
the downstairs of the parsonage. The
society members have also cleaned !
the church thoroughly and are plan
ming some other improvements there. |
Two signs have been erected by Mr.. |
Clyde Gnegy on either side of the
church, one of which is visible from
the highway. 1t is the thought that
these signs will aid in getting summer
visitors and residents into the ser
vices.
