Second Sabbath 2nd Saturday
- Jan, Mar, May, July, Sept, Nov 5:30 pm |
We hope you feel a
warm welcome We have all been in that
situation of visiting a church for the first time either with a friend, family member, or just on our own.
It is our desire that you feel comfortable and easily able to join in worship and fellowship. Let us know if this
is your first visit. There are good things to know like where the Sunday school is for the kids, or what the adult ed
class is for that day, or how to commune, or where to find the coffee and treats after worship! Following the Directions and Campus Map on the website, feel free to park in any of the lots as you make your way to the sanctuary, the largest
building on the campus (this is also where the church offices are located). There are several Sunday
worship times and a once a month Saturday service as well: Sundays: Services are at 8:00, 9:00 and 10:30 am with Holy Communion
distributed at every service and available to all worshipers. The worship style is blended. The
Second Saturday of January, March, May, July, September, and November: There is a 5:30 pm
contemporary service. Holy Communion is offered. Dress is casual. When you arrive, please fill
out a visitor card located in the pew racks and place it in the plate during the offering. If you'd like to
chat with a pastor, please indicate this. You will also find a Welcome brochure near the entrance that describes
the many opportunities for getting to know people and helping to serve the wider community. Hearing assisted devices and large print bulletins are available for those
who need them. Please see the ushers for assistance. For
parents who need it, there is a Comfort Room in the back of the sanctuary. Also, note that Sunday School "Learning Circles"
start after the Children's Message during the 9 am worship service. Please check where you will pick them up after the
service. We believe that Holy Communion
is truly a gift from God and is therefore offered at every service and for all ages at the discretion of the parents.
You may commune either by "intinction" where the piece of bread (there is also a gluten free option) is dipped
in wine or grape juice, or a common cup is offered as well. Sunday
Education Opportunities: ~9:15 - 10:00 am Sunday School "Learning Circles" for Preschool thru 6th grade (NOTE: starts after Children's Message during worship) 10:00 - 10:30 am Children's Choir (Can read, K-6th Grade) practice in the Family Center (the building directly across from the sanctuary) 10:30 - 11:00 am Children's Chimers (Can read, K-6th Grade) practice in the Family Center 10:30 - 11:30 am "Revolution" (7-12th Grade) in the Family Center
If you have any questions feel
free to call or email the church office. A pastor would be happy to talk with you. If you have questions about what exactly
a "Lutheran" Church is or about Christianity in general, a good weblink is: It is our privilege
to have you visit and we hope that you will find this a good place on your journey of faith. God bless! We welcome those interested to join as new members About every four months, a New Member Class is offered for those who are
thinking about joining the church or are just interested in learning more about Christianity and a Lutheran perspective. During
a Sunday service, there is a brief ceremony for installing new members with a luncheon and orientation following the 10:30
am. service and concluding at 2 pm. Child care is provided. If you would like to make Bethlehem your church home or if you would like
more information, please make a note of that on a visitor card and place it in an offering plate this Sunday. |
