Mini Day of Service - Saturday, October 30 - Mark your fall calendar for this wonderful morning of community outreach. Mt. Bethel's Mini Day of Service is different from the Spring Great Day of Service in that we focus on helping families rather than organizations. The Mini Day is a way to personally reach out to families with special needs and to senior members of our congregation who have given so much to Mt. Bethel.  Most of the jobs include raking, cleaning, mulching, and digging, so it is a great opportunity to serve as a family! Register online today.
