Weekly Email, July 18
Hello Bethlehem!
Christ the King will host a presentation and discussion on assisting refugees to settle, happening on July 24th at 10:30am. This conversation will be led by Lynn Mullin of Lutheran Social Services. Learn about the refugee experience, resettling new arrivals, and what congregations can do to help. The unique character of the Ukrainian Refugee crises will be addressed. Attend live or virtually via Facebook and YouTube.

Gather for Worship at 9:30am and then head to the Dining Room at 10:30am for a reception! Congratulations Pastor Jay and thank you for serving Bethlehem!
