OUR LOCAL MISSION IS BETHANY LUTHERAN DAYCARE. Daycare friends have created an Amazon Wish List of items they would like for the daycare. These items include toys, sensory items, ministry items, and cleaning supplies. You can ask for assistance from Pastor Staci and Leanna, or shop on your own! Here is how to find the list:

  • Log in to your Amazon account
  • Hover over “Account and Lists” in the top right corner, then click on “Find a List or Registry”
  • Click “Find a Registry” on the left side.
  • Type “Stacie Aguilar,” who is the daycare director, and select “Gift List.”
  • It will say it didn’t find the list.
  • On the left-hand side, change the state to “IA”, then “Search for Gift List”
  • Select the list that says “Bethany Lutheran Daycare” and START shopping!
