ACTS (Actively Caring Through Service)

Each year we get together in the Spring to do projects as a community service. Projects may include helping a family with yard work; baking and providing cookies to EMT’s, fire departments, ambulance groups; making crafts for local nursing homes; etc.

YOUTH GROUP – Grades 7-12

  • During the school year, the group meets weekly on Wednesday at 7 PM at Praise for fellowship, games, devotions, and music.

YOUNG ADULTS – High School graduate and older

  • A bible study group with young adults (loosely defined as “college and career” or post high school age) from both Praise and Bethany Lutheran Brethren Church in East Hartland.

  • Meets weekly on Thursday evenings at 7 PM at various group member’s homes.

  • Come join us for some fun, fellowship, food, and devotions.

MEN’S MINISTRY

  • Men's Fellowship Breakfast: Meets monthly on the 4th Saturday at 8:00 AM at Praise Christian Fellowship.

  • Each Fall we host or participate in a Barbarian Games event held either at Praise or Bethany Lutheran Brethren Church (Hartland, CT).

  • Each Fall (usually the last weekend in September) Praise men get together for Men’s Retreat at Tuscarora Inn and Retreat Center in Mt. Bethel, PA.

PUPPETS OF PRAISE (POP)

A team of young adults, ages 10 years and up who use puppets to spread God's Word. Presentations are in the church service (usually once per month), special church events, and even community events.

Interested in joining the team, but never have done puppets before? That's OK, there will be "on the job" training. Due to Covid, practice sessions have not been held on a scheduled basis, but that will probably change this year. This has always been a great working together team having lots of fun, while letting others know about Jesus and how He wants us to live.

Sharing the Gospel through songs that are geared toward the youth; however, adults enjoy them as well!
