Ministries

MINISTRIES

There is a ministry for everyone.

Wise Women

We welcome any woman who would enjoy study, laughing, sharing, and warm friendship. Studies typically center around a book from the Bible. We also do social outings throughout the year, and support a mission project. (Not meeting at this time.)

Iron Man Group

Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another. Proverbs 27:17 NRSV

This group meets every Wednesday morning for breakfast, conversation, news updates and a bit of Bible study. (Meeting virtually at this time.)

Seekers Class

A class for people hoping to learn and grow as followers of Christ; a place to share ideas and view. Attendees strive together to understand how to better "Love One Another." Classes are Bible based with other resources used as needed. (Not meeting at this time.)

Gideon Class

"For where God built a church, there the devil would also build a chapel." -Martin Luther
Every Sunday the Gideon class gathers to discuss topics of interest in current events, and see how the influences of God and the devil fare in the outcome. (Not meeting at this time.)

Youth Class

We start with Scripture and our beliefs, and end up thinking and talking more deeply about our own lives. This is a safe and encouraging space to ask big questions, to wonder "What if?" (Not meeting at this time.)

Bethel Book Club

This group reads a variety of books including fiction, non-fiction, historical and current. This provides for great discussions and reflection for a faith journey. The offering each Sunday supports the Bethel Faith Formation program and goes towards sponsoring R. Venkatesan in a Christian school in India. (Not meeting at this time.)

UCS Meals

UCS provides over 300 hot meals a day to the poor, homeless, and vulnerable. Volunteers from Bethel UCC cook and serve the evening meal once a month. Contact Carolyn Stephens for more information. (Not meeting at this time.)

Taste of Heaven

Date, time and place subject to change!

This group is a fun and eclectic mix of folks, from young professionals all the way through retirees. We meet at local restaurants on a monthly basis and have flexible meeting times to accommodate busy schedules. We try a new place each month, we even wander to the far reaches of the county! Come share some fun with us.

This is just one of many lunch or dinner groups. There's always room for one more. We continue to form new groups as we expand. (Not meeting at this time.)

Sanctuary Choir

Sanctuary Choir sings at most services September through May and features music of all styles and genres. It is open to older students, 6th grade to adults. All you need is a willing heart and desire to learn! All musical skill levels are welcome. Rehearsal time is 7 p,m, on Wednesday nights. Occasionally the Children's Choir and Youth Choir sing with the Santuary Choir for a more diverse sound. These choirs rehearse, as needed, at 6 p,m, on Wednesday nights and/or 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings. (Not meeting at this time.)

Bell Choir

Bell Choir plays during services when all members are present and available. This choir requires elementary counting and reading skills, as well as coordination skills. Everyone does something different, so attendance at rehearsal is a must. (Not meeting at this time.)
