Today, we’ll remember our baptisms and celebrate God’s amazing love for us—and for all people—through story, prayer, and watercolor. We’ll also have the special opportunity to hear a brand-new book on baptism written by our very own Pastor Meta. We gather in Fellowship Hall or the Library so parents can enjoy coffee and conversation nearby.
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.

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.
Join us on Wednesdays before Lenten Vespers worship for delicious soup with all the fixings served with a side of friends and conversation!
Come to worship for song and prayer, and to hear the legend of Joseph and his brothers that reminds us that God is moving through the bounds of jealousy, violence, corruption, guilt to reconcile our whole lives and set us free. We will be joined by special guest musicians each week!
This is a weekly discussion group about God, church, spirituality, and systems of belief. We’ll practice pulling on scripture, other texts, 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.
Planning well is a gift to the people you love - and to the community you care about. Join us for a free lunch-and-learn on March 1st to gain understanding about wills/trusts, beneficiary designations, and legacy gifts in clear, non-technical language from trusted Bethlehem members.

Dinner is served on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Minnetonka campus. While this feast coordinates with events like Storytime with Cindy, Emmaus Pairs and ensembles rehearsing, you don’t need a programmatic reason to eat—just an appetite! Make plans to dine with a friend, connect with someone you don’t already know, or join the Leftovers Crew and take meals to our homebound friends.
