BLC Weekly, January 6
Hello Bethlehem,
It’s the return of Bethlehem’s all-ages talent show! Join us for House of Bread, this Friday, January 10th at 7:00pm in the lower level here at Bethlehem. We invite you to sign up to share your talents. Song, dance, poetry, stand-up comedy, whatever your skills may be, all (church appropriate) talents are welcome! We are also introducing a visual arts component, so sign up to display your crafts. If you don’t want to participate, you are still invited to come and enjoy this casual event. We can’t wait to see your skills!
This week
Wednesday night suppers return this week. Join us for scalloped potatoes and ham, with salad and roll, served at 5:00 pm in the lower level. Stick around for the Epiphany Program at 6:15pm in the sanctuary!
Wednesday night education resumes this week. NightLIGHT will have a Happy Birthday Jesus party after the Epiphany Program. 9th graders are off this week but 5th-8th graders are invited to join Anna for a game night after worship.
Putting Artificial Intelligence To Work - January 12 Adult Forum Curious about artificial intelligence in the news? Wondering what it means for you? How can we put it to work for us? Should we fear or embrace AI? Join us for the January 12 adult forum at 10:45 am to hear from our own Jason Bruns as he explores the potential and actual use of artificial intelligence based upon his real-world professional experience. You don't want to miss this!
