Family Fellowship provides a family-friendly atmosphere for those that live in the Fort Meade area to fellowship and commune with one another. These monthly gatherings allow us Meade Eaters, as we are sometimes known, to literally break bread and partake in theme-designated dinners.  While meeting at various venues such as Potomac Place Community Center on Fort Meade, houses of Bethel members, and the Bethel fellowship hall,we eat, we visit, and we build friendships.

Facilitators:  Rick and Katrina Giannetti

Twitter, MySpace, and e-mail are not substitutes for real people. So here is an opportunity to get to know some real people. We are not a commitment-required program.  We get together for a simple shared meal at someone’s house or participate in a group activity just “for the fun of it.”

We really welcome families with kids, because Christian kids seldom see Christians interact outside the church building. We want them to experience that family atmosphere outside their own home.

Why are we doing this “Forthefunofitters” thing? The book of Acts tells us that the believers came together in their homes and broke bread. We believe the atmosphere of a home makes it easier to invite our friends and neighbors, providing an opportunity to introduce them to our values and beliefs in a very personal way.

Facilitators:  Jon and Simone Breuninger

Enjoying the Senior's Life!  Forever Young is for those 55 and above.  It's a time where we enjoy each other's company, spend time in fellowship, and discuss the things of life.   You don't have to be over 55 to join but it does help!   We meet on select Sundays after service - check the calendar for our next event.

For over 16 years the Bethel men have gathered together to bowl on Wednesday nights following Family Night at the church. This gathering isn’t so much about competition as it is about men having the chance to meet other men in the group to fellowship, foster relationships and experiences, and have a great time.

Doubling as a Life Group through the week and a Home Group (Sunday School) on Sunday mornings, Special Touch is a fairly new group that is specific in its approach.   It ministers directly to the needs of young children at Bethel who need a little extra time, love, and direction in their space at Bethel.  You must contact the facilitator prior to attending this Life Group. 

Facilitator: Teri Musy

Bethel women get together every other Sunday at 7:45 p.m. for bowling. We are not about competition, some of us are happy if we break 100. It is a time that we can come together and have fun while getting to know each other better and have a great time.
