Extending Church
First meeting tomorrow -
Wednesday, June 15th at 1pm
|
|
The church is the people, not just the building where we gather. Still, we do gather in a specific place each week, and folks feel a disconnect from the church when they cannot take part in person.
Fortunately - since the church is the people - church can extend beyond the walls of the building and continue to connect with all its members. You can help!
Extending Church is our new small group program. Once a month, this group will meet to connect with each other, then go out to connect with members of the congregation who cannot be or have not been in the building lately. (However, you don't have to be able to attend the in-person group to be part of the extending church work!)
Our first meeting is June 15th at 1pm in the Fellowship Hall. If you're interested in joining this group, please contact Pr. Gregg here.

Join us THIS Sunday in-between services for a presentation from Rev. Emily Scales Sutton, Executive Director of Bethel Shelters.This ministry is one of our 2022 Outreach Partners!
