The week is a hectic, rush-rush-rush time for a lot of us. We have kids to take to practice, errands to run, chaos to maintain. By the time we stop what we're doing, it's nearing dinner time and often, we are still on the go. The time to connect as a family disappears in a flurry of homework and preparing to do it all over again tomorrow. When do we stop and spend time talking to our families? When do we sit down, enjoy a stress-free, tasty meal without the distraction of the blaring TV and ringing telephone? At BIG Wednesday!

Dinner begins at 6:00 PM in the Telle Center and includes a tasty menu, prepared and served by our resident gourmet chef, Diane Leicham and her team. We serve buffet style and enjoy dinner together around tables. Children have the option to sit with family or friends and the best part? They eat free! We ask for a $5 donation for adults only.

After dinner, we break into our children’s and youth programs, while adults join either Pastor Dave or Pastor Steve in their weekly classes. Parents with small children are invited to dynamic classes to enhance their parenting skills and develop faith in growing families. (Our potty training class has been a big hit!) Pastor Dave offers a weekly Bible study in an informal setting in the Telle Center. Dave brings the weekly text alive through historical teaching and humor, all the while addressing contemporary issues that face us in a post modern world. Pastor Steve leads a small group with the Bethel Series. This method of study uses a historical approach to the Hebrew-Christian heritage of faith with an overview of the Old and New Testaments.
