Encore (Senior Adults)
I can safely say that most who attain 
that 62+ category in no way believe that life is over. In fact: It needs an Encore! This is certainly true of the Encore Senior Adult fellowship at Bethel! With over 400 Bethel attenders meeting that demographic, our meetings and events draw not only from those who call Bethel their church home but also provide a warm welcome for the surrounding area.
Meeting monthly at Bethel on the second 
Tuesday from 2:00 – 4:00 pm, we provide ample time for fellowship and community in addition to some special events sprinkled throughout the year. Most who attend Bethel are plugged into several ministries from small group Bible studies, Sunday School, and the Sunday morning services. Many are also ministering in different areas. These Tuesday times are specifically geared to provide the fellowship and ministry unique to the senior adult population.
We also enjoy destination events with travel and overnight stays providing even more opportunities to see special places and enjoy close fellowship. Stories are still being told from the memories made in Medora, Duluth, and other places we have visited.
May I encourage you to become a part of what is happening in the Encore Senior Adult fellowship at Bethel? Once you do, the reason for the open invitation will become apparent.
Blessings in Jesus!
