Many memories were made in this church. Our family began attending Bethel in 1943 when the church met at 105th and Phinney. My mom and Dad and sister's memorial services were held here and Bob and I were married in this church. Bev was married here twice. I sang in the choir, was active in the youth group, taught 6th grade Sunday School here. It was our second home. It is hard to day good bye. But our memories will live on for ever.
