Fall at the Church on the Hill, Bethel UCC
Bethel’s welcoming and inclusive worship is held at 9:30 am each Sunday. Children are invited to attend Sunday School at 9:45 following a moment with children in the worship service. After worship we share simple refreshments either downstairs in the Fellowship Hall or upstairs in the “Bethel Room”. Arlington Church of the Brethren’s children are also part of the Sunday School at 9:45. ACOBrethren worships at 11:00 am.
Sometimes we join together for worship. In those cases the children meet at 9:45 and joint worship is at 11:00 am. This coming Sunday, Nov. 11, is one of those opportunities where both congregations want to hear David Radcliff of New Community Project. Come at 9:45 or 11:00 or both! You won’t be sorry.
