Welcome
The resources here were mainly accumulated during the pandemic, when we were unable to meet in the building. Since then, there is a regular Sunday School during the Sunday morning service, with varied activities. “Bethel Bunnies” is our parent and toddler group, meeting in the building on Monday afternoons.
