The last 30 days have been nothing short of difficult and complex. And, it has been comforting and hopeful to gather as a community as often as we have in order to support one another and create space for understanding, questioning, processing, and being together.
This is not ending so soon, unfortunately, and we will continue to create opportunities to come together to learn, process, and act. That said, we also believe it's fundamentally important to come together in joy as well.
With that said, we are balancing informative programming alongside fun, social opportunities to come together. Join us this month - the programs are listed below!
Typically, we'd encourage you to follow us on Instagram @bethelnr_teens. If you do choose to log into social media during this time, please try not to click on photos and videos, as they are incredibly hard to see (and unsee). We are here to support you.
