THANK YOU NOTES
Dear Bedford First Christian Church,
My granddaughter and I spent "Grandparent and Me Camp" at Camp Bedford. We truly enjoyed our experience and thought we would like to help with the expenses of the camp. Please use this gift for the benefit of Camp Bedford.
Thanks, Gayle Parke (& Grandpa Bob Parke) and Lindsey Camden
Thank you to the volunteers who worked on landscaping outside the church on Saturday morning, August 21st. Joyce Miller keeps the east side of the church building looking great, but the rest of the grounds needed some work. Thank you to everyone.
