We couldn’t do it without them! Those of you who receive the quarterly Wellspring in the mail are beneficiaries of the time these women share with Bethesda. The group folds, seals and affixes sorted address labels for the church office. We provide the treats and coffee. Today we wanted them to feel extra special, so we brought Valentine’s Day treats! Does this sound like a job you might enjoy? Contact Dorothy Dyer Hansen!
