Cardiff 5K


On Sunday evening (30th April) Bethel will be hosting elite athletes and providing the ‘bag drop’ for participants in the Cardiff 5k, which takes place around Whitchurch and Llandaff North.  We offer to do this annually because it provides an opportunity to welcome people into Bethel, both from our immediate community and further afield, and to host them in a practical way.  The race has sold out, there will be a fab atmosphere and lots of spectators out around the village.
The bag drop and elite athlete’s lounge runs from 5-9pm on the night, and Karen & Chad are keen to hear from anyone who can help out on the night for all/some of the evening (we expect our busiest time to be 6-8pm).  We’ve got energetic and more sedate roles – offering drinks & fruit, welcoming & chatting to folk, a bit of ‘door management’ in the elite’s lounge (Whitchurch Centre) and collecting, sorting and returning bags.  Accompanied children welcome.  If you’re able to help please get in touch with one of us on Sunday morning or drop KAren a message directly (07951 383485).  It can’t happen without you! Many thanks.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

 

Where and When

The church is open for activities throughout the week but if you are just seeking us out it is likely that you will want to come and be a part of our Sunday worship which is core to what we are about.
We meet in the main church building (details here) at 10:30 each week. See our calendar to find out plans for the next few weeks.

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer and church lounge.

Our Sunday Services


Sunday morning services are structured but informal. They include a mix of both contemporary and traditional worship songs and hymns, prayers, readings from the Bible and a sermon that unpacks this. Occasionally we will also have specific updates about ways that God has been working through and in people and activities. Once a month we celebrate communion as part of the service. The last Sunday of the month is usually an Altogether Service when all ages are all together in one place for a more relaxed and activity based time of worship.

We aim to finish at about 11.45 to Midday when we serve free tea, coffee and cold drinks. This is a great opportunity to get to meet people.

Sunday Evening services, either in person or online, tend to be shorter and more reflective and are an opportunity to dig a little deeper into our relationship with God.
 

What about the children and youth?

We have a great programme for children of all ages, for more information about what happens please visit our Children and Youth page.

Getting Connected

 

Small Groups

It is often in smaller gatherings that we can really get to know other people. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some in the afternoon and some in the evening either in the church, in peoples’ homes or online    .
If you are interested in joining a Small Group, let us know and we can put you in touch with the small group coordinator who will be more than happy to find a group that is convenient for you and introduce you to the group leader.
