Personal — Passionate — Progressive
We take in -- both in adult Christian education and in Worship -- the very first healing story of the very first gospel written. Jesus' act of healing in a synagogue on the Sabbath speaks in a bold and fresh way how God's grace wreaks holy disorder into our carefully ordered universe we sometimes call "church". Listening to the scripture, we at BPC ask ourselves & our guests: How can we actively join hands with some of the great healing forces surrounding us -- places such as NIH, Walter Reed, Bethesda Cares, National Naval Medical, Del Ray Club? What might it mean to be a part of this uptown church named Bethesda, not to mention the church that actually named this town of Bethesda? Here's the link to our ever-colorful Bulletin. Speaking of healing opportunities: *Note the special May event announced on the final printed bulletin page*! Come, join us at BPC this Sunday in listening for God's "Yes!" to us, that we might better respond with ours to God!
The Del Ray 12 Step Clubhouse occupies our church property (65 meetings/week!): Where to build fences? Where to open gates? The beginning of a spiritual journey! See Rev. Chuck's latest blog entry, "Grace, After All ..."

Join us Wednesday, 6:30-8:30p, at Pizzeria da Marco, 8008 Woodmont near downtown Bethesda for great food & food-for-thought! At 7:30p, we will be discussing Franz Kafka's classic "A Hunger Artist"-- short story text here -- takes 10-15 minutes to read beforehand. We have our own open room & quiet table toward the back; ask for Bethesda Presbyterian when you enter. Great Neapolitan-style pizza, salads, & really fine ale on-hand -- all at a church discount price! We hope you will join us.
