THIS THRS: 25th and Final Bethel Presbyterian BBQ

This Thursday marks the 25th annual Bethel Presbyterian BBQ.  Unfortunately for local BBQ lovers, this one will also be the last.  Over the years, aShortChronicle has been a regular consumer of the fine fare of this from this great community event.  It's a personal favorite.

The below notice was sent to aShortChronicle by Allen Cook, one of the leaders of the event over the years.


On Thursday, September 26th, Bethel Presbyterian in Cornelius invites the community to join us in celebraon of our 25th Annual Bethel BBQ, Silent Aucon, Bake Sale, and Quilt Sale.

Over the last 25 years, this annual mission event has raised over $550,000 – with every penny going outside the church to support our mission partners. This year, all proceeds will bene*t the Charlotte Rescue Mission.

As Bethel looks to the future, we believe the me is right to move toward a new type of annual mission event. As a result, this year will be our final Bethel BBQ. However, Bethel is a mission-minded church and we plan on an annual mission event connuing for many years to come. Plans for the new mission event will be unveiled in early 2020.

But for 2019, the Bethel BBQ will be a time of food and fellowship, just as it has been over the past 25 years. And Bethel wants to give a big THANK YOU to those that have helped make it such a success – our friends and neighbors across northern Mecklenburg County. You can support us by picking up lunch or dinner through our drive through. Better yet, come into Bethel’s Family Life Center for a BBQ meal and to check out the selecon of hand-made quilts and Silent Aucon items. While inside, you can also enjoy baked goods including cakes, pies, and other goodies.

Bethel Presbyterian is located at 19920 Bethel Church Rd in Cornelius. The event will be held on Thursday, September 26 serving from 11AM – 7PM. Food prices are $9 for a BBQ Plate including beans and slaw OR three sandwiches with slaw. A pound of BBQ can be purchased for $12. Cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted. Again, all proceeds will go to our mission partner, the Charlotte Rescue Mission.

THANK YOU Cornelius, Davidson, and Huntersville for making the Bethel BBQ a big success over the last 25 years. We hope you’ll join us in to celebrate this special event.
