Presbyterian Church of Bella Vista

May was the Presbyterian Church of Bella Vista's turn to deliver Meals on Wheels. We delivered over 600 meals to approximately 30 Bella Vista residents. Special recognition goes to Bob and Sharyl Ritschel who were the coordinators this year for our church. The church is grateful to them for their time and efforts and for this opportunity to join other Bella Vista churches in bringing care and compassion to Bella Vistans in need.
