This March, Bethlehem is collecting food donations for our local food shelf partners. During MN FoodShare month, your gifts can make a real difference for neighbors in need, especially those impacted by ICE operations in the metro area.
Kids of all ages are invited to join our Lent Pop-Up Choir at the Minnetonka Campus! We’ll learn a couple of simple, meaningful songs during short rehearsals right after worship on March 1 and March 8 (10:40–10:55 a.m.), and then share what we’ve learned as we help lead worship on Sunday, March 22 at 9:30 a.m.
Bethlehem is a much better community with you here. Whether you have recently started attending or you have been coming for years, consider this your invitation to membership!
Encore! Sunday School meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month right after worship. We gather in Fellowship Hall or the Library so parents can enjoy coffee and conversation nearby. During March, we’ll journey through Lent together—practicing stillness, listening for God, and watching for the new life Jesus brings through Bible stories, prayer, play, and creative activities.
The newly formed Hospitality Committee is looking for volunteers who would like to help make soup for our Wednesday Night Lent Soup Suppers during Lent. Each Sunday during Lent, we will gather in the kitchen after church and prepare the soup that will be used for the following Wednesday evening.
Kids of all ages are welcome to receive communion at Bethlehem Twin Cities. Sometimes it’s easiest to respond to an invitation that’s more specific, so when kids are in first grade, we say, let’s do some training. If you haven’t already received communion, start now. If you’re older than first grade, no problem. If you’re already participating, come along, let’s learn about it.
This Lent, our Evensong liturgy will weave together poetry, traditional hymns, and new music to explore the idea of resisting evil by singing. Inspired by the recent nonviolent Singing Resistance movement (which was, in turn, inspired by the Serbian "Otpor" movement), we will gather together to reflect, recharge, and renounce evil through heartfelt worship.
The physical body holds trauma within it. Understanding one’s own pattern as it reacts to trauma can be liberating, as well as therapeutic. Become familiar with the trauma patterns of Victim, Bully, Bystander or Savior to gain important insights about how to reduce the impacts of trauma on the body. Presenter: Cara L. Carlson, Ph.D., MSW, LICSW, RYT-200, EMDR Certified, Director, Anam Cara Therapies, Minneapolis. Meetings begin at 6:00 pm with a light supper provided. The program begins at 6:30 pm and ends at 8:00 pm. Please register in advance.
Join Bethlehem pastors to spend time with the scripture reading for the upcoming Sunday. Each gathering follows a simple rhythm of reading, prayer, and conversation as we reflect on what the text is saying to us. Register for the Zoom link and join on the weeks that work for you—cameras and microphones are optional, and listening in on the go is welcome.
This Lent, Bethlehem invites you into a 40-day spiritual practice of listening to God, to your neighbor, and to your own heart. 40 Days Toward Deeper Listening is a guided, daily journey that slows us down, steadies our breathing, and trains our attention on what really matters: the shared humanity God is continually renewing among us.
