Yesterday, members of the New Church of Montgomery helped serve breakfast to the guests of Bethany House Services. Pancakes, chicken sausage, and orange juice were brought to share with the moms and kids who make their temporary home at Bethany House. (Eggs have been requested for next time!)  It is a small thing to do to be in community with women at a time in their lives when they are experiencing homelessness.

Other services are provided to the women who live at Bethany, including money management classes, nutrition classes and yoga, among others. The women attend classes at the house in the evening, and childcare is provided during the sessions.

In the fall, The New Church of Montgomery will be holding its Fourth Annual Toy Swap and Bake Sale to provide toys and money to the women and children of Bethany House. Please subscribe to our website via the Follow Button at the lower right hand corner of our site to be notified of the TBA date of the Toy Swap and of other exciting programs being offered by our church and the Glendale New Church, whose home we share.

Mark your Calendars for the Toy Swap!

Second Annual Toy Swap will be held on Saturday, September 10th 9AM-12PM at the Glendale New Church; 845 Congress Ave, Glendale, OH.

Admission is Free!

• Toys can be dropped off the evening of Friday, September 9th from 5-7 pm, for sorting.
• Please bring gently used or new toys to exchange.
• Bring one extra toy for donation to Bethany House Women & Children’s Shelter.
• A Bake Sale will be also be held.
• A donation jar will be available for monetary donations to the shelter.
• Teach your kids to share with others by donating one of their toys to The Swap!

This is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, a chance to help a child get a toy they otherwise couldn’t afford, a time for kids to find a new and interesting toy, and a nice activity in the village of Glendale! We hope to see you there!
