Bellemead's COVID-19 Response

Our of respect for our government officials and love for our neighbors we have canceled all face to face meetings at Bellemead Church. However we continue to find creative ways to meet together! Stay tuned for more updates!

We continue to worship each Sunday!

Join us and other local churches each Sunday promptly at 11am @ watch.bellemeadumc.com  If you would like to give at Bellemead follow this link.  Be sure to invite your friends and family to join us too!

 

Our Sunday School Classes, Bible Studies, and Bible Studies continue to meet!

All our small groups continue to meet.  Not only will this be a time to participate in the lesson, but it will be a time to check in with one another. People are having a variety of responses to the crisis we are experiencing.  Some are anxious, some are stir crazy.  We need to CONNECT with one another in this season perhaps more than any other.

We will meet together via ZOOM, a video and telephone conferencing system, to continue our various Sunday Schools and Bible Studies.  You can join the discussion on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or telephone.  Visit this link for detailed instructions about joining a ZOOM meeting, which I will summarize below.

These are unprecedented times we are in now.  While I know meeting on ZOOM is not our ideal I am grateful for the technology which allows us to connect with one another!  I imagine we will be offering Sunday School, Bible Studies, and other small groups in this manner in one way or another for quite some time.  I want to continue to encourage you to continue to fully engage in the ways we are doing ministry while we are unable to gather together in familiar ways.  There have been some bumps along the road but I have been very proud of the ways our congregation participated in online worship and ZOOM meetings!  I continue to be convinced we can not only survive, but even grow during this time!
