Welcome to the Bethesda United Church of Christ website!

 We are so glad you are here!  My name is Allison Smith, and I am the pastor of “BUCC.”  We welcome you and hope that this website will be helpful especially if you are new to Bethesda United Church of Christ. 

We are a caring community of people who seek to put our faith into action, and hope, pray, and work for change in the world.  We are a place where there is breathing room to nurture your spiritual life and ask questions, and meet God’s love and grace. In BUCC you will find a community that is here to offer support in the challenges of life and ready to share in all the joys.  And last but not least, this is a community where everyone is welcome--children, singles, and families of all kinds—a place where we can all find spiritual sustenance, and God’s love and hope in a complex world. 

Please take a look around this website and fill out the guestbook to let us know what you think or how we can be of assistance to you. 

We’d love to welcome you to worship on Sunday mornings or on the web anytime! 

Blessings!    
Allison

Service of Healing July 19th 9:30 am
On Sunday, July 19th there will be a special service of healing prayer during the worship service. As one author has noted, “Healing make take many forms: emotional, spiritual, physical.” “Healing is not necessarily a cure. Cure may come, but healing is about gathering a person’s strengths and potentialities together, and about calling a community together …[in prayer] to thereby help that person [or persons] draw ever closer to God’s healing.” This may mean new physical or spiritual strength, courage to reach out to someone in reconciliation or to make a difficult decision, God’s comfort when experiencing loss, a new sense of peace, and hope for the journey ahead.  We invite all to be here for this special service.
