Bethel's Covid Response

At Bethel UCC we seek a balance between decreasing the ongoing risk from SARS-Covid19, and addressing the needs for connection and caring within our church community and greater community. We want to offer opportunities for people to gather safely as much as possible, while supporting individual choices to participate remotely.
