In addition to more extensive ministry operations, Bethesda offers Fellowship Groups for congregation members. Fellowship Groups are a more laid-back approach to strengthening the ties with others in the congregation. From Older Wiser Lutherans (O.W.L.s), a community for those 60 and above that meet in the Commons for hymn sings, puzzle and game swaps, and walking down memory lane to Ladies Lunch Bunch or Book discussions, there's a place for all congregation members to get to know one another outside of Bethesda. If there isn't an existing group you could see yourself attending, you can always take the initiative and get a new fellowship group up and running.
