Since that time, the trustees have continued to prayerfully seek the Lord’s will for Bethesda, in particular the future of the Harpenden Bethesda Home.
 
At the beginning of 2025, the Lord hedged up the way of the trustees so that in February 2025, with heaviness of heart they began, following the decision to consult on the closure of the Harpenden Bethesda Home, to make the necessary preparations so this process could start in the working week beginning Monday 3rd March 2025.
 
The Trustees have prepared a letter to supporters that sets out the background to the current consultation on the closure of the Harpenden Bethesda Home.
