FRIDAY SERVICES AT CONGREGATION BETH EL BEGIN AT 7:00 P.M.
Please Consider a Donation to Congregation Beth El!
I donate to CBE . . .
. . . to honor or thank a friend or relative,
. . . to remember loved ones and friends,
. . . to celebrate a special occasion,
. . . to support our congregation's mission,
. . . to leave a legacy.
I support CBE because it is . . .
. . . our point of Jewish connection,
. . . a place of spirituality and learning, where people reach out to each other during times of celebration and sadness,
. . . a place committed to repairing our world, one kind word and deed at a time.
I am connected to CBE because I've found something significant here . . .
. . . caring clergy, staff and teachers,
. . . relationships and community.
I can mail or call in my contribution to . . .
Congregation Beth El, 3900 Raoul Wallenberg Lane, Missouri City, TX, 77459; 281-499-5066.
