• Town Hall gatherings are a chance for the whole Bothell UMC community to come together outside of worship. Held quarterly, each Town Hall will look a little different, but the purpose remains the same: to connect as a full church family, to share updates about the life of our congregation and beyond, and to hear from one another through Q&As and facilitated conversations. This is an opportunity to celebrate what God is doing among us, ask questions, and offer feedback as we continue shaping our shared ministry.
