      One of the largest projects that New Bethesda undertakes each year is Operation Christmas Child. We also participate in Prayer Weeks for the following state, national and international emphases:

      Each summer, a team from New Bethesda travels to Lake Placid to support the triathlon athletes. Individuals and groups also participate as needed with Virginia Baptist Disaster Relief, a part of Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. That organization is the third-largest in the nation in disaster relief efforts [behind the American Red Cross and Salvation Army]. And twice each year, the church hosts a blood drive with Virginia Blood Services.

PAST PROJECTS

 In 2006, New Bethesda coordinated its first-ever churchwide mission project. Two-thirds of active members, ranging in age from 8 to nearly 80, participated in roofing, cooking, leading devotions and encouraging. The story of the project was featured on the frontpage of the Religious Herald, the Virginia Baptist newsjournal.

BLUEFIELD COLLEGE PROJECT - Summer 2009

     Updating several 50+-year-old houses for married students was a huge project which involved many members of New Bethesa.  Led by our own Bluefield alumni Leroy Williams, it lasted over 4 weeks.  See article from the Bluefield College Alumni magazine.
