Mission and community outreach are two very important areas at the heart of our congregation. If you’re looking for a project with a good cause that will make a difference in your world, or even just in your neighborhood, become involved at Bethesda!
Making a Difference in Our Community, One Meal at a Time – Bethesda supports Our Daily Bread by serving a meal every month on the 4th Tuesday. We purchase food and cook the meal for over 150+/- individuals. For additional information visit their website – https://www.ourdailybreadmot.com/
Bethesda’s congregation collects non-perishable food items to stock the shelves of the food pantry located at the Neighborhood House in Middletown. To contribute to the collection, simply bring a non-perishable food item to church with you on Sunday morning and place it in the tub, located next to the office.
Bethesda also actively participates in the Harvest Outreach People’s Project or HOPP. Food Distributions are the 4th Friday of every month starting at noon in our parking lot. We distribute about 50 food bags each month. To learn more, visit https://thehopp.org
Our quilters Group meets on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 am certain times of the year. The group compiles fabric, reading materials, and winter weather accessories and then creates warm care packages to help the homeless in the winter. No sewing experience necessary! Please call 378-2313 for more info.
Our Helping Hands Committee frequently participates in mission projects that benefit our community on both local and global levels. Information on how you can help is published in our Sunday bulletin on a weekly basis.
Helping Hands is requesting your support for this service project in honor of Mother’s Day.
We will be collecting baby diapers and wipes until April 6th. Please leave your contribution in the bin outside Mika’s office.
If you would like to contribute financially, our team will do the shopping for you! Please put your financial contribution in an envelope labeled Helping Hands Diaper Drive.
Helping Hands will deliver the items collected to the Appoquinimink State Service Center in time for Mother’s Day.
Helping Hands thanks you for your support in helping local mothers and their babies.
