WHITE OAK – In White Oak, the Bethlehem United Methodist Church has a plan.
The plan may seem simple but it’s a big step toward bringing together the community and the people in it. Recently, a new community trail has opened outside of Bethlehem United Methodist Church. This trail’s opening was a lot of hard work on the part of the church who acquired it via a grant from Resourceful Communities as well as donations. Resourceful Communities is an initiative that gives grants in order to further conservation as well as community development.
The community trail isn’t just for the church or the congregation, but for everyone to enjoy. The trail itself is one piece in a future project that the community is planning to build called Bethlehem Park. Marked by a blue sign, this 0.3-mile-long walking and biking trail’s main goal is to bring the people of White Oak together and allow them to have a good time. On the blue sign is a list of rules and greetings. First, all are welcome…
