Bethania Kids Be an OSLC Cyber Pal!
Internet service is
being setup on the computers in Chennai for the Bethania Kids.
We are looking for children in Grades K-12 who would like to
sign-up and be a cyber pal (todays version of being a pen pal)
with a Bethania Kid. Parental permission will be required to
sign-up.
We have a number of children in Chennai who are anxious to
correspond with children in the
United States to learn and
share cultural experiences in a Christian environment. This
could be a fantastic project for families to do together in 2008
kids are kids, no matter where they live tell the children in
Chennai what it is like to grow up in Virginia and they will
tell you how they live in Chennai. The Bethania Kids love to see
pictures of family activities and
USA
sites.
Find out what it means to Discover, Care, Reach, Learn, Share,
Love, Teach and Pray with a Bethania Kid when we reveal the
OSLC/Bethania Kids Cyber Pal logo on February 2-3 and 9-10. Were
looking for children who will commit to sending an e-mail once a
month to their cyber pal in Chennai a 30 minute exercise (with
Mom and Dads help for the K-5 grade children.
Flyers outlining the cyber pal program and sign-up cards will be
available beginning February 2-3 in the narthex. Well want to
take your picture when you sign-up please see Carol Haecker
before and after our church services in the Fellowship Hall on
February 2-3 and 9-10 to sign-up. Carol will be leaving again

first e-mail messages on March 1-2 so please sign up as soon as

We The People
- Myra Koch
Myra Koch is a new member of our church. She
was born in a very small community in Bedford County, VA. Myra
says that thanks to Smith Mountain Lake, her hometown has grown
into a large town, and she can get lost there now.
Myra graduated from the local high school in Bedford County. A
number of her high school classmates went into the armed
services so her graduating class was also small. Surviving
members of her high school graduating class get together twice a
year for a reunion.
Myra’s father was a farmer and she loved the farm life. She
learned to milk the cows, work in the fields, and do housework.
(The latter part she says she still does not like.) Myra went
into Nursing School right out of high school and really liked
all phases of nursing. She says that E.R. was her favorite
place.
Myra has three super children, eight grandchildren, and one
great grandchild. (Another grandchild was due in May.)
Myra enjoys sewing, reading, and painting. She also has two
cats, one she says has no brain but very loving and one who is
too smart but doesn't like to be held).
Myra moved to Warrenton from Roanoke to be near her daughter and
after a year here, she decided that this is an O.K. place and
will stay.
We are pleased to have Myra as a member of our church family.
