Welcome to Bethesda Presbyterian Church!
We are glad you have connected to us through our website. Our Mission: Love In Action! It’s that simple. At Bethesda Presbyterian Church, we believe prayerful action – as a church and in our daily lives - is the way of the gospel. Join us in our beautiful Sanctuary or on Zoom for our uniquely "big small church" experience!
March 30: That Other Brother
The journey of the Prodigal Son is well known. Perhaps we identify more with his older brother. Can we give that brother - lurking in the shadows - some love as well?
March 23: "Hear About ... ?"
Lectionary Scripture: Luke 13:1-9. What's happening in our world today might be more important than ever. Jesus offers a Lent challenge for us: to shift our focus on what the world is doing to us ... to what we are doing alongside of others.
