Community Events
Beer & Hymns The Beatles | Bike Rack Brewing | Sunday August 30, 5PM
This August, Beer & Hymns is celebrating the music of The Beatles, and we know these are the kind of songs that somehow sound even better when an entire room sings them together.
Our featured charity this month is Family Network of Northwest Arkansas and their Diaper Collective, who provide diapers and other essentials to local families with young children. It's easy to overlook just how expensive diapers can be, but for many families, having enough can make all the difference. Every donation this month helps parents spend a little less time worrying and a little more time simply being with their kids.
So grab a friend, raise a glass, and join us for a night of music, community, and doing a little good along the way.
All ages. All voices. All people welcome. Events are free to attend, and 100% of donations go directly to Family Network's Diaper Collective.
Beer & Hymns brings people together to raise our glasses, raise our voices, and raise funds for organizations that make Northwest Arkansas a kinder place to call home.
FUMC Bentonville NEEDTOBREATHE Contest
NEEDTOBREATHE is coming to Walmart AMP on Thursday, September 10. Friends of FUMC Bentonville can enter HERE for a chance to win up to 8 lawn tickets. (Only one entry per household, please)
