Daily reflection written by a member
of the Bethel community and posted on www.28daysofhope.wordpress.com.

Participating downtown merchants
will display a candle in their place of business to symbolize their support to
foster hope for the people of Bethel and its neighbors.

Be an individual sponsor for $25 or help recruit business
sponsors for $50.  Business sponsors will receive an LED pillar candle to
place in their window during the 28 days of hope.  All profits will be
donated to Bethel Social Services.
