Family Ministries
Bethel’s Family Ministry is open to all Bethel members and friends who enjoy fellowship and faith centered around good food and fun activities. Family Ministry events include picnics, parties, musical events and movies. There are many ways to be a part of Family Ministry: bring your family and friends to an event, help out at an event, or even help plan an event!
Suggested donation of $5 per person for all Family Ministry events, unless otherwise noted. If you’d like more information, or have fun ideas to share, contact Susan Straus.
