Bethesda is a Lutheran Social Service Organization that has been serving some of PA’s most vulnerable children and families for over 90 years. Bishop Jones of the NW PA Synod has encouraged all congregations to support this vital ministry by participating in a three year capital campaign. Bethesda is asking that a non-binding congregation goal be between $50-$100 per church attendee to be given over the course of three years (equates to roughly $17-$33/year).

Bethesda’s goal is to meet with each congregation over the course of the next three months. Bethesda has also asked that each congregation appoint a congregation leader to: attend a training event, commit to the work of Bethesda, encourage others to participate in the work, etc. If you are interested in this leadership role, please contact Pastor Maureen.
