Happy New Year!
Like many of you, we are looking forward to a new year. Though we know all of our trials won't be removed with a flip of the calendar, we are still hopeful for what the new year will bring. Mostly, we hope we will all be together again soon.
In the meantime, we hope you will continue to be Holy Families of Bethlehem, as Pr. Collette talked about in her Christmas Eve sermon, serving others in God's name in whatever ways you can. We are particularly in need of a few more serving spots at Connections this week, and you can put our next three serving weeks on your calendar, too: Jan 18-24, Mar 1-7, and April 12-18.

Our new website and church management system, Breeze, offers so many exciting ways we can streamline our communication with you. Using Breeze to send you weekly updates is one of the ways we can keep our email list consistent and accurate (it also saves time and money!).
Additionally, our new website features a "News & Updates" blog, which you can follow right from the home page (blcmankato.org). By including all the details there, you can easily reference it at any time.
News & Updates: https://www.blcmankato.org/news-updates
The website also integrates the Events Calendar from Breeze. You can view the calendar and event descriptions on the website, but you can also check into worship and register for events by using your own Breeze account (don't have one yet? Contact Emily in the office).
