Weekly Email, Aug. 16
August 16, 2021
We can't believe it's almost August 22nd, and we will be saying "See you later," to Pastor Collette. Her ministry at Bethlehem has been transformative, and we are so proud of the work she will continue to do in the community with Connections and Shelter Church. Please join us to celebrate her this Sunday after worship. Feel free to bring cards with your personal messages, but we will also have blank ones available.

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.

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).
