Summer Guest Preachers at Bethesda United Church of Christ
ο»Ώ
Throughout July and August, Bethesda United Church of Christ will be blessed by an inspiring lineup of guest preachers, ranging from familiar faces within our community to emerging ministerial voices and highly respected pastors from beyond our congregation.
This special season offers an opportunity to experience fresh perspectives, diverse voices, and meaningful spiritual exploration. As we gather in worship, we will expand our sense of community and discover new ways God's presence is at work in our lives and in the world.
Our guest preachers will be supported by a dedicated team of BUCC liturgists, helping to create worship experiences that are thoughtful, sacred, and engaging. Together, they will guide us through a variety of themes—from exploring the sources of healing, empowerment, and wisdom within our faith tradition to discovering how God's steadfast love can help us live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
We invite you to join us each Sunday as we learn, grow, and worship together through the unique gifts, insights, and experiences of these remarkable preachers. We look forward to a summer filled with inspiration, reflection, and blessing for the entire BUCC community.
