Bethel Bees Food Ministry Program

Welcome to the Bethel Bees Food Ministry Program!

Our new food ministry wants to bring some sweetness into the lives of our neighbors and pollinate some good community spirit.  By using the image of a bee, we are showing our neighbors that we are active, persistent and helpful to our neighborhood.  We have a new mascot:  Bethel L. Bee!  By having a team name and mascot we are reimagining ourselves for our service/community in an accessible way.

Bethel BEES BarBEEQ news:  Success!  Thanks to all those busy bees for making the first BarBeeQ a great community event.  Join in as the next one is scheduled for August 8,  5:30 – 7:30 PM.  Please consider bringing a side and if there is a game you want to share bring that too!
