Bethesda Invites Children to Power Lab: Discovering Jesus’ Miraculous Power!

"This year our church is a bubbling with excitement as we explore Power Lab,” says Katie. “Power Lab provides fun, memorable Bible-learning activities for kids of all ages. Each day kids will sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, nibble Test Tube Treats, take on a Daily Challenge to share Jesus’ amazing power in their lives, experience electrifying Bible adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s Word, and create Bible Point Crafts they’ll take home and play with all summer long.”

“Power Lab is an exciting way for kids to learn more about Jesus’ power,” says Katie. “Kids will join nearly a million children in North America and take part in a hands-on missions project that will reach kids in South Africa. Each day concludes at Faith Fusion Finale—a celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join us daily for this special time at 8:00 P.M. We hope Power Lab will get everyone fizzing with excitement about Jesus in our community.”

Power Lab begins on June 9th and continues through June 13th. Meet at Bethesda United Methodist Church, 444 Bethesda Church Road, Lawrenceville, Georgia each day from 6:00 P.M. until 8:30 P.M.. For information, call 770-921-3753.

About Bethesda United Methodist Church

Currently, Bethesda United Methodist Church is undergoing a change. After months of discussion and organization, Bethesda United Methodist Church is undergoing a major website redesign. The redesign will bring a completely redesigned Photo Gallery, updated content, organized sections for Kids, Youth, and Young Adults classes, and improved contact interaction with the Bethesda staff.

Bethesda United Methodist Church is an exciting dynamic church in a fast growing suburban Atlanta area. The United Methodist Church is a very diverse church. Bethesda United Methodist Church believes in the sanctity of marriage and the promises of scripture. The Methodist Christian movement was founded by an 18th century charismatic Anglican Priest by the name of John Wesley. John, his brother Charles and George Whitfield formed the theology of the Methodist movement while students at Oxford University in England. Charles Wesley wrote over 1,000 hymns. Two of his most famous are "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing". Many of his hymns were written to popular beer hall tunes of that era and thus, the common people could relate to them (the first contemporary Christian music).

Bethesda United Methodist Church has a rich heritage and an exciting future. Bethesda was founded 30 years after George Washington was first elected President of the United States. An arbor revival was held in 1820 on the current property and the church was formed. Since that time Bethesda has been a shining light of Christ's love, charity, and salvation in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Bethesda United has a variety of programs for every age group (see our calendar). Bethesda has a vibrant worship in both the 9 o'clock Contemporary and 11 o'clock Traditional services where we praise and glorify the living God.

Don't miss the excitement! Worship at Bethesda United Methodist Church this Sunday. I guarantee you will receive a blessing.
