Hello future Upward Football players:
In reflection of the closing of public schools, Bethlehem UMC will observe a Sabbath rest as well:
this means that all church activities (with the exception of our Sunday Worship Services)
including our planned Upward Football League practices are cancelled until Monday, April 6 2020.
So, we'll continue to recruit new registrations
(and will inform you if/when any deposits are applied before we do so...your check is not cashed before we begin)
We will update on this weekly here:
www.gotobethlehem.org/upwardfootball
and on our Facebook Page here
Email rsvp@gotobethlehem.org with any questions or concerns.
We need you!
