OUTREACH & SOCIAL JUSTICE

Jesus said, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me. (Matthew 25:35-36)

LOCAL OUTREACH MINISTRY

Local Outreach is a ministry of Outreach & Community Engagement. This working group directly supported by the congregation through designated contributions in the weekly offering as well as various fundraisers throughout the liturgical year. On behalf of Bethany Church, this money is used to serve persons in need in Halifax Regional Municipality..

We support the following community agencies on a regular basis:

Adsum House
Brunswick St. Mission
Bryony House
Camp Kidston Club Inclusion
Fairview United Resource Centre
Halifax West Ecumenical Food Bank
Hope Cottage
Laing House
Metro Turning Point
Phoenix Youth Programs

Bethany also prepares and serves a meal twice a year for the St. Andrew’s Sunday Supper. A hot meal is prepared the morning of in our own kitchen by the Outreach Committee and volunteers and served during the supper hour at St. Andrew’s United Church.

During the late Fall, the Committee sponsors a number of projects to support programs during the Christmas season. The Clothing and Food Box provide articles of warm clothing and non-perishable food items to Brunswick Street Mission, Phoenix Programs for Youth, and the Halifax West Ecumenical Food Bank.

If you would like to offer a donation in support of Local Outreach or become involved with the outreach ministry at Bethany please contact the church office.

Mission and Service Contributions

It takes money to put faith into action. We are all very grateful for the contributions of congregations, UCWs, families, and individuals to the collective work of the church. 

Mission & Service is The United Church of Canada’s main fund for mission and ministry. 

Mission & Service donations support congregations and new church development, Canadian outreach programs, international relief and development, training and supporting ministers, and maintaining ecumenical relationships.
