Hi,

We are always considering more ways we can connect with our community, getting to know our neighbors, with an agenda of simply loving them like Jesus would do. This is what it means to be the church, engaging with the world around us.

This isn’t just a “good idea.” This is at the heart of what Jesus said was the MOST IMPORTANT thing we are to be doing: Loving God and loving our neighbors. (see Matthew 22:36-40)

This is not a marketing campaign. This is about genuinely caring about the people we encounter every day, as well as the people who live all around us, including the people we may have been inadvertently overlooking! This is a mission of love.

I am inviting YOU to be a part of this effort at Bethany.

Please consider joining our Bethany Beyond Walls Ministry Team. How might you be of help? I don’t know! We’ll find a way to include you, as all of our combined gifts and talents will be important in this. We are very much exploring some new exciting ideas for the year ahead!

This website has a TON of information on this topic, so if you are intrigued to learn more, please click around and read more about all of this.
