Upcoming events that educate folks on acupuncture and also how to make your own yogurt:
On Saturday, May 16th, starting at 9 a.m. Dr. Jenny Mae Wheeler will be doing a community presentation on acupuncture, exploring how it can regulate the nervous system, reduce pain and inflammation, and support overall health, resilience, and long term well-being. She will be doing her presentation in the dining room of the Methodist Church located on Main Street in Bethel. Acupuncture is an Eastern based practice which is getting attention in the Western World.
Healing the sick was ministry work that Jesus Christ did during his short time on earth. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John tell firsthand accounts of what healings Jesus accomplished and it is pretty amazing to say the least. In current times it is encouraging and hopeful to have doctors who continue to have a desire to help and heal people.
How to make your own yogurt will be a class offered through the S.A.D.#44 Adult Education department. Susan Vogt Brooks will be offering this class on Thursday, May 21st, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the kitchen of the Methodist Church. To register, contact the Adult Education office at 207-824-2136 or visit their website.
The Methodist Church recently had some 9th grade students from Telstar High School come and do some yard work. They spruced up the flower beds and raked in the back of the church.
This community event was organized by the North Star adult leaders. The Telstar students were very polite and were eager workers. They did a wonderful job and were a big help for the church. North Star is a wonderful program that is changing young students’ lives. Excellent mentoring when these kids need it the most in their lives. Thank you to the North Star Program for helping and guiding our young teens in our communities. You are changing lives and it is a blessing to many!
The Bethel Senior Citizen Club held their monthly meeting on May 13th. At the meeting we discussed taking bus trips starting this fall. Lots of ideas were shared and more information will be shared in our future monthly meetings. This Senior group ALWAYS meets the second Wednesday of the month. During the meeting we introduced new members as a way to get to know each other. Folks shared some funny stories and it was an enjoyable time.
The lunch we ate was an exceptional meal. Debbie St. Pierre is an excellent cook and has a heart of gold. The menu consisted of homemade rolls, a tossed salad as well as a broccoli salad, homemade lasagna, and a chicken tetrazzini casserole for the main course. For dessert she had cherry pie, blueberry pie, upside-down pineapple cake and a chocolate cake.
Everyone enjoyed the meal and there were lots of pleasant conversations with smiles on all faces. The Bethel Senior Citizen Club is open to all seniors in the area.
