Serve Our City- 2025
During Missions Month here at Bethany, we not only like to serve the Global city but our Local city as well! One way we do this is through Serve Our City Week: A week filled with different outreach events for each day of the week at various times. They range from hosting a Drive-Thru Prayer Tent to handing out dog treats at a local dog park, just to show our neighbors that we care!
Check out the different projects below and don’t forget to register for the ones you would like to serve with!
