Bethesda Presbyterian Church

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!
