LOCA

LOCA (Ladies of a Certain Age) is a group of Bethlehem women who gather together to support each other as we grow in faith, offer service to the church and community at large, and participate in social activities.

Our meetings on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. focus on faith development. We have participated in Bible studies, watched and discussed films from the Nooma series, and read contemporary nonfiction such as Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. We also meet one additional night per month.

For the past 2 1/2 years, we have prepared and served a monthly dinner at the women's shelter of Simpson Housing Services. We also serve coffee at Bethlehem on the first Sunday of each month and use the proceeds to support programs of Simpson House, the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery, and Lutheran Partners in Global Ministry. We alternate service projects with social activities, including a progressive dinner, movies, museum visits and theater performances.
