Sharing God's Love With Family And Community

The 2005 Mission Trip

In July of 2005, twenty-two Bethany members of all ages traveled to Velletri, Italy to work at Ecumene, a camp located in the Patrician mountains about 30 miles south of Rome. While there, they helped to develop a play ground and recreation area for the campers. The camp, under the direction of the Evangelical Waldensian and Methodist Churches of Italy, serves as an international meeting place for Christians from Europe, the Middle East and the United States.

The Goals of Ecumene

• To provide a center where people from all over the world might gather and explore their diverse religious inheritances, respect others and recognize the unity of Christ’s Church.

• To provide a center for reflection and encouragement of personal growth in faith.

• To work together in solidarity, committed to Christ’s love.

• To seek to learn from each other in a spirit of service and responsibility.

• To be committed to social responsibility and justice.

• To form friendships and experience Christ’s love in community.
