Sunday Worship at 9:00 am

Every second Sunday of the month, Bethlehem offers dinner worship we call The Table at 4:00 pm. 

Join us for a family friendly evening of worship, simple meal and faith formation. The Table includes a short worship service, holy communion, and guitar-led songs.
Deacon Amy Schmuck offers a weekly text study via Zoom every Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. We’ll explore the readings for the upcoming Sunday, following the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The Zoom link stays the same each week, and everyone is welcome—feel free to invite friends and family from near or far to participate. If you have any questions or experience issues accessing the Zoom meeting, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Deacon Amy. To receive the Zoom link, contact the church office.
