Children are welcome and will participate in a tie-blanket service project, along with a special children's message during worship.
The evening's offering will support the No Freeze Shelter

for those interested in serving with the shelter. Contact: <a href="mailto:kbecker@bethelmilford.org">kbecker@bethelmilford.org</a> for training opportunities.
