Bethel Closing Worship information for Nov. 6, 2022

THIS SUNDAY, NOV. 6 IS BETHEL'S LAST SUNDAY AS A WORSHIPPING COMMUNITY. 10:00 am with Arlington Church of the Brethren joining us.

Bethel UCC has been working with Consulting Pastor Rev. Chris Mereschuk to discern the future of our congregation since March 2022. This process is being led by a Work Group, which will make recommendations to the Consistory and the congregation.

Our discernment prior to March 2002 and our gathering on April 24, 2022 points us towards concluding the active ministry life of Bethel UCC.

As a part of this process, we have visited other local churches — both arranged as a group, and as individuals. Please check the weekly email announcements for details about these visits. We will have a closing worship service on Nov. 6 in which we will say goodbye to pastors, staff, and in some ways each other. Letters of transfer to new congregations are available for all members.
