We’re planning more fun in the summer, from picnic potlucks to game nights, so tune back in to learn more as our plans take shape!
Why have multigenerational services?
It’s simple—a church is much more than a building—it is a community of people of all ages, who are called together to encounter and respond to God’s love as revealed in Jesus the Christ. Worship enfolds us in God’s love, and what better way to create a sense of belonging than by worshiping together. At Bethel, creating multigenerational opportunities for worship and play is a strategic decision to strengthen our community and provide a welcoming place of acceptance for everyone, regardless of age. As our UCC motto says, “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey—You Are Welcome Here!”
