Learning for All Ages
From children to adults, we actively engage in deepening our spiritual understanding and growing in faith as we connect with God, each other, and our mission in the world.
Planning for the Future: Creating a Will
Saturday, January 21, 9:30-11 am
When is the time to create a will? For some, it's prompted by a life change, perhaps becoming parents or having a loved one die, getting married or going through a divorce. Maybe retirement has reminded you that it's still on your bucket list. If you'd like to move the conversation to the front burner, here's your chance to ask some questions and find out how to get the process started. Members of Bethlehem with expertise in this area will present the basics and help you identify next steps for putting plans in place.
Why have this conversation at church? Tending to your estate plans is just another practice of good stewardship. Register here.

Beyond Appreciation...from liking faith to living it
We know a good thing when we see it. We can recognize intricacies of art and the passion conveyed through music. We are amazed by powerful displays of athleticism or the graceful strength of dancers. We appreciate the beauty of the world around us, but can we move from the sidelines and participate in it?

Reading the Bible in 2011
Welcome to the days of Advent. This month’s readings reflect the themes of hiding, seeking, waiting and being found. Consider lighting a candle or an Advent wreath each day as you read the text and pray, “Open my eyes to your coming, Lord.” Blessings on your quiet time with God!
