The landscape at Bethel Downtown and Bethel Highlands in Hudson, WI  is maintained by a dedicated crew of volunteers who enjoy working outdoors.

Environmental theologian Martin Palmer spoke recently at the University of Minnesota about the role of faith communities in global environmental challenges.
