We have been blessed with well over 600 guests in 2012 and we expect even more in 2013.
In the front entrance of Bethesda we have a guestbook in which visitors have left us wonderful words of thanks and blessing. Some have shared what their time at Bethesda has meant to them. Below are a few of the many entries that have touched and encouraged us so much.
