Out ‘n About Adventures — Upcoming

Out ‘n About is a ministry of Bethel Lutheran Church crafted to provide fellowship activities for Bethel members and friends. The interval of events is monthly and we vary the offerings to be inclusive of different age groups and physical abilities. Most are open to all ages, but occasionally we’ll program adult-only events. On all of our outings, a new attendee gets to ride the bus for free. Please invite lots—this is a great way for folks to check out this community called Bethel.

Carmel beach

The Bethel bus is headed to Carmel for a glorious day of spectacular vistas including a delicious lunch!! We’ll dine at Carmel Highlands Inn offering its spectacular views, but the morning can bring you vistas and pleasures as well! Carmel offers its alluring white sand beach as a place to walk and rest. It has been attracting attention since 1770. The city is home to the captivating fairy tale houses along with its other types of fascinating architecture. The historic downtown, centered on Ocean Avenue, features its captivating boutique style shopping (Don’t miss the Cheese Shop[Offsite Link]!) as well as many art galleries. (Thanks to the Carmel Art Association begun in 1927; 98 years ago!). A chance to enjoy a day of fascination and peacefulness.
