We are partnering with an exciting organization called The Treasure Box to help us lend a hand
and provide support to our community in a way we may not be able to do otherwise.
This ministry will help us meet the practical needs of local families.
Here's how it works.
The Treasure Box provides families and individuals
with a substantial box of grocery store quality food
retailing between $65-100 for just $30 each.
The Treasure Box cultivates relationships with more than
500 major food manufacturers across the country to purchase and provide
top quality, nutritious food at sizeable volume discounts to the general public.
Each Treasure Box contains between 21-25 pounds of high quality, frozen foods,
including chicken, pork, beef, or seafood,
as well as vegetables, fruit, a side dish and a dessert.
One Treasure Box is enough food to nutritiously feed
a family of four lunch and dinner for almost a week
or a senior citizen for nearly a month.
Bethany's role as a Host Site will be to
advertise the program to our local community
(although Bethany members can also participate).
Our Treasure Box representative, Shelly Kendig,
will take pre-orders and payments for the boxes —
people can conveniently order and pay online —
and once a month (on a Saturday), the boxes are delivered
via refrigerated truck to our local Delivery Site.
Our volunteers will pick up and distribute the boxes to the families
at our Host Site and take orders and payments for following months.
“Feed the hungry,
and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.”
ISAIAH 58:10 (NLT)

or to volunteer to help with our once-a-month distribution (only about an hour or two),
please email Shelly Kendig at skendig99@hotmail.com.
Our incredible school hits the papers!
Did you see our recent full-page ad in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune,
Pasadena Star-News and Whittier Daily News!

Recent scientific research has documented that the habit of expressing gratitude can give you more energy, deeper joy, decreased illness, and greater determination! Modern scientific evidence is verifying that the ancient habit of gratefulness commended to us over two thousand years ago in God's Word produces an enormous amount of positive benefits in our lives. Grateful people are less depressive, envious and anxious; they demonstrate clearer thinking, better resilience during tough times, higher immune response, less likelihood of being plagued by stress, longer lives and closer family ties. As one writer summarized these benefits, "along with thinner thighs and six-pack abs, this is a fairly comprehensive list of what most of us would wish for in life"!
One of the documented methods for increasing your level of gratitude is through the keeping of a "Gratitude Journal" -- through simply taking a few minutes every day to write down three things that happened that day for which you are grateful.

We reached our "Capture the Vision" goal
to build new buildings for the Junior High students at our K-8th school,
West Covina Christian School!

and how generous you have been -
