Current Needs

Here's an idea on how to donate to the church ministry needs online: Go to this Wish List at Wal-Mart and print out this page. Keep it with you and next time you go to a WalMart and you see something Bethel Lutheran could use, take it to checkout. They'll scan it and send it to Bethel in Biloxi automatically. Pretty cool, eh? You might see "Kent Thompson" as the name of the recipient but the send to address is Bethel Lutheran. Rest assured, and my wife can back me up on this, I wouldn't know a crock pot from a carburetor.
