Come Sail Away, 2012 Grads!
Bethlehem has a vibrant sailing ministry and a tradition of taking high school seniors sailing in June. This year’s trip is June 25-29, Monday through Friday. We spend 3 nights and 3 ½ days on the water. From Bayfield, Wisconsin, our boats will sail around various islands, anchoring in their bays and exploring sea caves, old lighthouses and sand beaches.
It's Time for Another Bethlehem Directory
It has been 4 years since our last directory. There are new members and new staff, and new contact information for many. To help us connect with one another we will be producing a new pictorial directory this year. Once again Olan Mills will bring photographers here to take photos of members and put together the ever useful directory. This is free of charge with the opportunity to purchase additional photos if you wish. If you have ever forgotten a name or just can't place a person, you have pulled out your directory for help. Please have your picture taken to be placed in the directory.

Overcoming Hunger with the 30 Hour Famine
30 Hour Famine is an international, hunger-fighting program, which began in the U.S. in 1992 and is sponsored by World Vision, the Christian relief and development organization helping children and families tackle the causes of poverty in nearly 100 countries. We, as a congregation, encourage youth to participate every year by raising money and fasting for 30 hours while learning more about hunger in the world and their communities and participate in hunger-related service projects around the Twin Cities.
This year, we encourage all people to join in the 30 Hour Famine effort with Bethlehem youth happening Friday, February 10 and Saturday, February 11. Here's what you can do:
