About this Event

Welcome to the Advent Luncheon!

This year’s theme, “Hope Rekindled: Walking in the Light of Christ,” is inspired by Isaiah 9:2–6“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” In this sacred season of anticipation, we reflect on how God’s light continues to guide our church, our leadership, and our individual lives.

Highlights of the Program:

  • Advent candle lighting and Scripture reflection
  • Musical selections and spoken word
  • Testimonies of faith and renewal
  • Delicious luncheon and fellowship
  • Community service moment: sharing gifts of hope with others

Come experience warmth, worship, and community as we walk together in the light of Christ.

Attire: Festive and Relaxed
RSVP: Seating is limited — please register to reserve your spot.

About Our Church

Bethany Baptist Church-Newark is a historic, justice-oriented community located at 275 W. Market Street, in the heart of Newark, NJ. The church traces its origins to 1870, when a group of African Americans established the church on Broad Street in Newark in the building of the Peddie Memorial Baptist Church.

We are a community of people from all walks of life, united by a common heritage. We are teenagers and seasoned saints, parents and teachers, students and business owners--but, most of all, we are family.

What We Believe
