"Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord"
The Book of Common Prayer, p.366
The Mission of the Faith in Action Committee of Bethesda-by-the-Sea is to assist, with the Grace of God, our parishioners, and others to fulfill the Second Great Commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves. Over 700 people have put their "Faith into Action" in the past several of years in a variety of ways by donating their time, talent, and treasure to our many on going projects. Faith in Action activities are "hands on" ministries in which we welcome, invite, and encourage people of all ages to participate. The work of this group has really grown over the last few years. Outreach has always been an important part of the lives of our generous parishioners, but this group has taken the work to a new level. Everyone is welcome!
