Beth El Website |
|
|
|
You might have noticed that the Beth El website has a different look to it.
The first step was to convert the site to a new system that will make it easier for us to (1) update the content and (2) make it easier for you to find important information on the site.
Take a look in the upper right-hand corner of the site ... there is now a SEARCH field so that you can quickly find what you are looking for. To do a search, type a couple of words in the Search box and press the enter key on your keyboard.
Also, if you look in the top menu bar, you will see a SITE MAP menu button to help you locate info on the Beth El website.
