During November, when there is a focus on food and Thanksgiving, Bethlehem has historically made an extra effort to help those in our communities struggling to keep enough food on their table. With the demand at Minnesota food shelves at an all-time high in 2026, let’s pull together and fill the shelves at CES and ICA.
Come join us at church for a terrific dinner served with a side of community and conversation! Meals include a main entree, wonderful sides, fully loaded salad bar, beverage and dessert. Dinner will be served in Iverson Hall from 5:00–6:45 pm. Gluten free and vegetarian options available. EVERYONE is welcome!
Join us at the Minnetonka campus on the first Wednesday of each month for dinner and Bingo! Each month will be a little different, including the menu and cost. Come hungry, connect with neighbors, and support local businesses.
Love to read? This group is for you! This group meets weekly on Wednesdays, 6:45-8:00 pm, in Henderson Conference Room at the Minneapolis Campus. From November 4 through November 18, we'll be discussing Blonde Dust by Tatiana De Rosnay.
Ever thought about singing in the choir? Come check out the Bethlehem Chorale Open House. You'll get to meet our director, Aaron McDermid, experience a rehearsal, and enjoy some great fellowship and treats afterward. There is no registration or audition required—just show up, bring a friend, and join us!
This is a weekly discussion group about God, church, spirituality, and systems of belief. We’ll practice pulling on Christian scripture, other sacred texts, early church writings, lived experiences, and previous conversations together to contend with our own assumptions about faith and what else could be true. We’re holding it all lightly, agreeing to disagree, and doing our best to keep the main thing the main thing. We bring our big questions and often leave with even more questions.
An evening of community and learning about how to prepare for the end of life hosted by Spirit Garage. This workshop will walk you through some of the hard decisions best made before anyone has to.
Come enjoy a morning with old and new friends for a very good cause. Each November, ICA Food Shelf sells a certificate toward a family Thanksgiving dinner. We would like to entice turkey certificate sales with a gift package of delicious lefse. To do this, we will roll and cook dozens and dozens of rounds of this beloved Scandinavian treat. No experience necessary!
Prepare for the upcoming season with the Christmas in Christ Chapel Preview right here at Bethlehem. This special gathering features a deep-dive exploration into the prophetic poetry of Isaiah led by scholar Dr. Blake Couey. The morning will blend insightful scriptural reflections with moving live music, featuring original folk compositions for piano and cello by award-winning songwriter John Hermanson and musician Dr. Maren Haynes Marchesini. It is a wonderful opportunity for our community to gather as we prepare our hearts for Advent.
Their critically acclaimed transcriptions of concert masterworks provide a fresh look at music of the past, while their interpretations of contemporary and world-music realms break new ground.
The knitting group at Bethlehem’s Minneapolis Campus is back—and we’d love for you to join us! Gather in the Gallery at the Minneapolis Campus on the second Thursday of each month for a relaxed and welcoming time of knitting and community. All skill levels are welcome, and we focus on charitable knitting projects—from baby hats and prayer shawls to chemo caps and more. We have patterns, some yarn to share, and plenty of enthusiasm.
