Everyone is invited to Bethlehem’s annual Day of Service on February 7th.

It’s a chance to step in from the cold, enjoy warm fellowship, and take part in hands-on projects that make a meaningful difference in the world.

We’ll gather at the Minneapolis campus beginning at 9:00 am for check-in and coffee, with the program starting at 9:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. This year, we will highlight the work done by Louise Matson, Executive Director of the Division of Indian Work. This is a local organization focused on supporting and strengthening urban American Indian people, including moms and babies. In addition to items we collect for Newborn and Hospice kits for Global Health Ministries, we will also collect shampoo for adults, children, and babies, as well as baby wipes. Come for the joy of serving—and stay for a great lunch!
