Bethlehem News


Please note the Tuesday morning Bible study will be on hiatus this summer. It will resume on September 2nd. 


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.

The next Table worship service is scheduled for July 13.
