Outdoor Worship Services

Our next summer outdoor worship will be on Sunday, August 1 at the 10:15 AM service. We are using the Chicago Folk Service as our liturgy for those services. The July service was delightful. Thanks to all the volunteers who showed up to help set up all the chairs and sound system. It was a pleasant summer morning with plenty of shade provided by the stable and the surrounding trees.

Summer coffees

This year our neighborhood ministry groups will again provide the summer coffee service. With the help of the fellowship coordinators and the congregation, it will be a great time to enjoy each other’s company. Please help make these a success when you are called upon during your neighborhood’s week. The schedule is:

New Members Class

We are blessed by all the visitors we have at Bethlehem. We will be holding an “Inquirer’s class” for those visitors on August 22 and 29. The classes will look at how we see ourselves as Lutheran Christians and what our mission and ministry is here at Bethlehem. It is a chance to find out more about the church and to meet some of our members and leaders. Join us for lunch and discussion following the second service on
those Sundays. If you wish to join Bethlehem, we will be receiving new members on Sunday, September 13.

Back-to-School Blessing!

...at the August 15, 8 AM and 10:15 AM Worship services.
It’s that time of year again—time to head back to fill the backpacks with new supplies, break out the new folders and files, and head back to the cozy comfort of our desks in the classroom or school office! Come to either of the worship services on Sunday, August 15, for a special “Back to School Blessing” for all students, teachers, education administrators, school counselors and nurses, cleaning staff, kitchen staff—or ANYONE who will be headed “Back to School” in just a few days!
