Bethel to Honor Miliary and First Responders Sunday
Tuppers Plains, OH, October 29, 2014 – Bethel Worship Center will hold a special ceremony this Sunday, November 2, 2014, during its regular worship service at 10:00 a.m, followed by a free Sunday dinner at the church, to honor Mid-Ohio Valley military and service personnel and their families in recognition of their ongoing sacrificial assistance to the public. Pointing out that these folks often put their own personal safety in jeopardy as they selflessly sacrifice and work to protect the public, Senior Pastor Rob Barber expressed his gratitude and invited all area military, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, police and law enforcement officers, and other first responders and their families and friends to join Bethel’s annual tribute to these important public servants. “These people sacrifice and work so hard to keep our communities safe, and we just want to let them know how much we appreciate and value them. We do not take for granted those who regularly put themselves in harm’s way for the rest of us,” Barber observed. “Bethel would just like to recognize these special folks and their families and provide them with a free home-cooked meal after the service, with our church members cooking up their own special potluck dishes to share,” Barber added. He noted that, while not necessary, RSVPs with the number in their party would be helpful from those personnel interested in staying for the dinner, and can be sent to [email protected] or by calling 740-667-6793.
