Weekly Email, June 27/July 4

 We are in the final week of Pride month, but we remember to include and celebrate our LGBTQIA+ siblings all year. As Jesus taught us, “Love one another like I have loved you.”

Our weekly email is written and sent by the Congregational Services Coordinator. This position is in transition currently. As next week is the 4th of July, we will not have a BLC Weekly. An email on July 11th is possible, depending on the hiring of a new CSC. Call the church office if you have questions about the week’s goings on. 

REMINDERS: 

• For the remainder of the summer, Wednesday night worship will not be held. We will resume in the fall. If you can’t make it on Sundays, please consider watching the recording on Facebook or YouTube. 

• Four dates this season our radio broadcast will be preempted by the Twins early start. On these days, our radio playback will be at 5pm instead of 11am. June 5, July 24, Sept. 18, Oct. 2

"Every person supports a cause. It may not be our cause, but that's OK. See what's going on in your church and in your community and get involved with something that touches your heart. Think about it, pray about it and then just do it. Live beyond yourself." --Living Lutheran, Sept. 2021"

Bethlehem is an inviting community that is growing in Christ, loving our neighbors, and serving God's world."
