October 14, 2025 – Help Make Lefse for the Lutefisk Dinner!
Before we can serve up the lutefisk, we need lefse—and lots of it! We’re looking for volunteers to help make over 300 rounds of homemade lefse on Sunday, Oct 19 in preparation for Bethlehem Twin Cities’ annual Lutefisk Dinner.
No experience required—just a willing spirit and a little flour on your hands. Volunteers from middle school age and up are encouraged to sign up for one of two shifts:
Lefse-Making Shifts – Sunday, Oct 19
9:00–11:00 am
10:30 am–1:00 pm
Please register in advance to reserve your spot, and join in on this time-honored (and joyfully messy) tradition!
Once the lefse is rolled, flipped and stacked, be sure to mark your calendars for Saturday, Nov 22 for the annual Lutefisk Dinner—a festive community event that’s part cultural celebration, part youth fundraiser, and 100% Scandinavian fun. Whether you sign up to volunteer, donate dessert or simply come hungry, your participation keeps this beloved Bethlehem tradition going strong.
Join us—and take a small bite in whatever way you can!
October 7, 2025 – Gather, Eat, Sing, Grow—Second Wednesdays at Minnetonka
This Wednesday is the return of evening programming at the Minnetonka campus. We meet monthly on 2nd Wednesdays, with dinner served at 5:30 pm. The menu for October 8 is pasta with meat, garden salad and garlic bread. Everyone is welcome! You don’t need to be on site for programming or rehearsals. Just bring your appetite or make plans to meet up with a friend.
Many thanks to the volunteers who have already signed up to cook or serve this year; and if you’d like to pitch in, reach out to a member of the staff so we can get you scheduled.
The Chancel Choir and the Handbell Ensemble have already welcomed new and occasional members this season. I’m grateful for their welcome and flexibility. These groups have so much fun together! Last season the choir was thrilled when a teenager joined their ranks—and when they were all invited to her 18th birthday/graduation party. They gathered her in and sent her off in ways that make you glad to be the church.
This year, Wednesday night programming includes two new offerings:
Parents, bring your kiddos for dinner and stay for Storytime with Cindy at 6:00 pm. Cindy Beltz has the aura of a fairy godmother and your favorite elementary school teacher. With props, crafts and storybooks, Cindy makes faith formation come alive for our littlest ones (birth–age 5). It’s a low stakes, casual way to try showing up midweek so you can get to know other adults, too.
Emmaus Pairs has connected 12 students with 12 trusted adults for faithful conversations all year long. It’s an opportunity for kids and teens to notice that adults are still asking questions and growing in faith, too. Using Manna and Mercy as a resource, the pairs meet monthly for dinner and conversation so a new intergenerational connection is formed thanks to Jesus, who’s been there the whole time.
September 30, 2025 – Reconciling In Christ Update and Invitation
The Reconciling In Christ (RIC) process, and any process of communal self-reflection, is not easy. The RIC Team would like to thank you for your involvement thus far. We are continuing one-on-one conversations with congregants and staff members and are enjoying hearing from many of you.
Along with the RIC Team’s continued one-on-one conversations, we are excited to begin to share opportunities for group conversations, learning and questions. We invite you to gather with us for Bethlehem’s Reconciling In Christ Journey on Sunday, Oct 5, 6:00 pm (MPLS, following the Evensong worship service) for an informal, educational session with the RIC Team and Deacon David Behling, program coordinator at ReconcilingWorks.
We will share a simple dinner and casual conversation around tables, focusing on the RIC process and questions from the congregation. Please come with any questions you may have! We will have time to write questions anonymously and present them to the RIC team and to Deacon David to be addressed. Together we’ll explore the importance of a safe, welcoming, and inclusive culture for all people. Please register online so we can prepare for you.
Join us in reaching our goal of 100 one-on-one conversations and participating in educational opportunities. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a one-on-one conversation, please email the RIC Team ([email protected]).
September 23, 2025 – Catechism for Adults with Pastor Chris Enstad
Begins this week!
(MPLS) Wednesdays, Sep 24–Oct 15, 6:30–7:30 pm
What is it that Lutherans believe anyway? What are the promises made in baptism, and how does God come to us in word and sacrament? Why did Luther emphasize grace, and what’s the big deal about vocation?
On Wednesdays this fall, Pastor Chris Enstad will meet with adults to explore some of the same questions confirmation students encounter as they prepare for Affirmation of Baptism. Whether you once participated in confirmation or not, you are welcome to join the conversation that coincides with this fall’s sermon series, “Grace Made Visible.”

September 16, 2025 – Thank you, from Pastor Kris TM
Dear Bethlehem,
Thank you for the wonderful send-off this past week-and-a-half. Your kind words and hugs, the open house on Thursday, a new choral anthem commissioned by the Bethlehem Foundation and composed by Aaron McDermid, worship (at both campuses over two Sundays) that praised God and nurtured us in body, mind and spirit, art for my home, and a monetary gift—it all leaves me brimming with gratitude and warm thoughts. I never imagined I would serve Bethlehem for 27+ years, but it’s been a blessing to lead children’s ministries and serve as one of your pastors.
We have gathered around Word and sacrament, striving to grow in faith and fellowship, accompanied outreach partners in town and around the world, welcomed new people, and created positive church experience for kids, hoping they would one day return to church and find they’re home. It’s been a special privilege to walk alongside you at times of transition, mourning loss and celebrating new life. We have experienced a lot of change together, both as a community and as individuals or families.
Shout-out to my family, Dave, Anna and Matt. They have been ‘all in’, and I couldn’t have done it without them. Same thing for our parents, Janice, Luther and Val. Thanks to all who have helped nurture them and me in faith and service.
Bethlehem is “Alive Together: A New Creation in Christ.” I can’t wait to see what comes next for this beloved congregation. You will continue to be in my prayers and in my heart.
—Pastor Kris TM
“We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” —1 Thessalonians 2:8

Step into a season of renewal and alignment this Celebration Sunday, as we begin the six-week sermon series, “Grace Made Visible: Foundations of Faith, the Lutheran Way.” Over the weeks ahead, we’ll explore five core affirmations of the Lutheran tradition, each rooted in Scripture and alive in our shared calling as Bethlehem:
Grace Alone – God’s grace is a gift that finds us first.
Faith Alone – Trusting God more than ourselves.
Scripture Alone – Hearing the living Word for today.
Christ Alone – At the center of it all.
Freed to Serve – Set free for love.
We’re beginning an exciting new program year, with Children Youth and Family, Adult Education, Music and Choirs, and more kicking off this week. Details and registration on the Bethlehem website.

We’ll have mammoth muffins inside and free hot dogs outside from the Hot Box food truck (which will also be selling fresh mini donuts!). We’ll have a petting zoo and yard games for the children outside.
In Minnetonka, we’ll have Pancake Church, with delicious homemade pancakes and sausages in the Fellowship Hall. Then, step outside with the kids for a fun bouncy house and the Amazin’ Balloons.
September 2, 2025 – Celebrating Pastor Kris Tostengard Michel
For 27 years, Pastor Kris Tostengard Michel has faithfully served Bethlehem in many roles, offering her gifts, wisdom and care to our congregation. Now, as she transitions from parish pastor to new callings and retirement, we give thanks for her remarkable ministry among us.

August 19, 2025 – Sing and Ring with Us this Fall!
As we enter a new program year, we would like to invite you to come and sing, and/or ring, with us this year.
Bethlehem is blessed to have so many incredible music ensembles at each campus, and now is a wonderful time to join as we look towards all of the possibilities a new year has to offer. Whether it’s our children and youth choral ensembles, the youth handbell ensemble, or our adult choral and handbell ensembles, there is an ensemble for everyone in the family. There are a variety of ways of getting connected to the music ministry here at Bethlehem. We have a great time making music together to share in worship. All are welcome!
Rehearsals begin the week of September 7.
Learn more about Music & Choirs at BethlehemAugust 12, 2025 – New Sunday Evening Worship Service, Evensong
Experimental. Newly-composed sacred music alongside traditional Lutheran hymnody; contemplative spiritual practices; poetry and art used to illuminate scripture.
Embodied. Opportunities for active participation, like candle lighting and prayer stations.
Experiential. Cozy, contemplative atmosphere; a deep, restorative breath before the work week; seasonal liturgies allow music and words to sink in deeply.
These three words sum up the vision for our NEW worship service, Evensong, which will be held in-person on Sundays at 5:00 pm at the Minneapolis campus beginning August 17.
Curated and led by Spirit Garage’s Andy Pokel in collaboration, with Bethlehem pastors and volunteer musicians, this in-person worship service will use a consistent liturgy, led primarily by guitar and piano, in which only a few elements will change.
From August to November—the last portion of “ordinary time” in the church calendar—Evensong will feature music and liturgies from the Prairie Liturgies, a gorgeous collection of worship services by Carol Meier (composer) and Pastor Meta Herrick Carlson (liturgist).
August 5, 2025 – Pray Without Ceasing
As people who follow Jesus, we pray. Alone and together, we pray. And, in times of great change, we pray. And so, in this time of significant and rapid change, we will take the bishop up on her invitation to gather in prayer for the world each week. Gather to Pray Without Ceasing before worship on Sunday mornings (MTKA Narthex 9:00 am & MPLS Chapel 10:15 am) for a brief litany of prayers for the world. We’ll gather around a global map and have tea lights available. We’ll continue this tradition each week, trusting that where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, our Savior is with us. Learn more here.

July 1, 2025 – Wander with Us In the Footsteps of the Apostle Paul
On July 1st, a group of 31 people from Bethlehem embark on an adventure to Greece and Turkiye to wander in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, reading the letters he wrote to early Christian churches while learning about the ancient context we might overlook as Americans in 2025.
Keep an eye on Bethlehem’s Facebook and Instagram for glimpses of this adventure. We’ll remember our baptism at the Gangites River in Philippi where Lydia was baptized, share the Lord’s Supper in Corinth, and consider the ways an ancient goddess in Ephesus helped the locals embrace Mary, the Mother of God, as their own. We’ll also visit the island of Patmos where John had a revelation and sing hymns inspired by that text.
Wherever you are, you can follow along by downloading the group’s daily devotional booklet (available here) and by praying for this group on the move—that we would return home on July 12 alive, together and transformed by the journey.
June 24, 2025 – SPECIAL OFFERING: Celebrating 35 Years with Habitat for Humanity

Join us in honoring this milestone and help build a more just and welcoming future—one home at a time. You can drop a check at church or give online via Realm; choose Habitat for Humanity from the Fund drop-down menu.

June 3, 2025 – Be a Prayer Partner for a Summer Service Trip Youth!
This summer, 44 youth and adults from Bethlehem are heading to Madison, Wisc. and Nashville, Tenn. on service-learning trips in partnership with Serve Boldly. These trips will give students a powerful opportunity to serve, grow and experience God’s presence in new ways—and you can be a part of their journey.
We’re looking for Prayer Partners to support each participant. As a prayer partner, you’ll be matched with a student or leader before the trip. You’ll get an itinerary, prayer guide and everything you need to write one short daily prayer for your partner. During the trip, these prayers are delivered at breakfast and become a daily highlight—offering encouragement, joy and a tangible reminder that they are surrounded in love and support.
Being a prayer partner is simple, meaningful and deeply appreciated by everyone involved. It’s a great way to build a new connection and support our young people in faith.
We need 10 more prayer partners. Let’s show our youth that they are covered in prayer every step of the way.
To sign up or learn more, email Melissa Ramshead, Director of Youth and Family Ministry (612-312-3381).
May 27, 2025 – What Can You Do with a Hammer and a Heart?
This summer, we need more than 100 volunteers to make our Habitat for Humanity build weeks a success—and we can’t do it without you.
For nearly 35 years, Bethlehem has partnered faithfully with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity to help make affordable housing a reality. What began as a few volunteer days has grown into a legacy of hope, with 13,000+ hours served, and 28 families house—all thanks to the leadership and dedication of our Habitat community.
Now, it’s your turn. Whether you’re swinging a hammer, packing lunches, or cheering us on, every role matters. Volunteers from Minneapolis, Minnetonka, and Spirit Garage are already stepping up—but we need many more hands and hearts to continue this work.
Be part of something bigger than a building project. Be part of building a future. Sign up today and help us make this summer’s build weeks the best yet.

May 13, 2025 – Reconciling In Christ Update
One of Bethlehem’s values is radical hospitality. In an effort to live into this shared value, we’ve started exploring what it means to become a Reconciling In Christ (RIC) congregation. We don’t have to create a unique process or figure this out all by ourselves. Reconciling Works: Lutherans for Full Participation have been supporting congregations through the RIC process for more than 40 years. Together we’ll explore the importance of a safe, welcoming and inclusive culture for all people, including the LGBTQIA2S+ community and those the church has historically harmed or excluded.
The RIC Core Team wants to hear from you. Your thoughts, cares and concerns are key ingredients to this process. If you are contacted by a member of this team, please consider making time for one of these conversations. They are usually face-to-face and last about 45 minutes. If you are not contacted but would like to participate in this step of the process, please contact a member of the team or email [email protected] to schedule one.
We look forward to connecting with you and welcome your prayers for wisdom and guidance.
Team Members: Regina Johnson, co-chair; Tricia Hall, co-chair; Heidi Peterson, staff liaison; Diane Waarvik, staff liaison; Becca Totzke, Neil Kristianson, Gail Conroy and Tom Gerhard; Pastor Meta Herrick Carlson; pastoral support
May 6, 2025 – Join Our Voices Together
From Mark Paisar, Director of Music
Every Sunday morning when we gather together for worship, we join our voices together as one to give thanks and praise to God. In doing so, we are calling upon the words that we hear from Ephesians 5:19–20: “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
When we sing together and experience the beauty of music together, we open our hearts and minds to experience the beauty and love of God. Such moments of beauty are filled with holy and transformative potential that calls us forward in our journey to live more fully as beloved children of God.
Throughout this program year, we truly have been blessed to experience the joy and beauty of music, and we can certainly give thanks to all of the incredible musicians in all of the ensembles here at Bethlehem who make that music possible.
I hope you will join us for the Choir and Handbell Finale concert, featuring our children and youth ensembles, on Wednesday, May 14 at 6:30 pm in the sanctuary at the Minneapolis campus.
We will take a moment that evening to highlight the musicianship and leadership of our children and youth ensembles here at Bethlehem. We will give thanks for the beautiful music that they have offered up in worship this year, and we will recognize their musical leadership that they share with this congregation.
Please join us as we give thanks for the KinderChoir, Cherub Choir, Choristers, Youth Choir, and Youth Handbell Ensemble. All are invited to join us for this evening of music and root beer floats!
April 29, 2025 – The End Is the Beginning: Introduction to Revelation
“Revelation is a book full of promises. It is a book about hope but not hope that’s saccharine or sweet. Rather it is a book about enduring, persistent, and gritty hope. And I think it’s exactly the kind of hope we need for times like this.” —Matthew Fleming
This past Sunday, we began a 6-week sermon series on Revelation. Many of us approach this last book of the Bible with wide-eyed wonder because it is strange and confusing. Its images are sometimes terrifying, and other times comforting. You might be surprised to know that words from Revelation grace dozens of beloved hymns, along with our communion liturgy.
We have invited Pastor Matthew Ian Fleming, author of “The End is the Beginning: Revelation, Hope, and the Love that Lit the Stars” to lead an introductory session on the Book of Revelation at both of our campuses:
- (MPLS) Wednesday, May 7, 6:30–7:30 pm
- (MTKA) Thursday, May 8, 10:00–11:00 am
Fleming is the Director of Church Anew and Teaching Pastor at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie. You can read an interview with him here. Come to either session, or both if you’d like to hear him twice! Register here.
April 22, 2025 – Opening Worship of the 2025 Synod Assembly
Dear Bethlehem Community,
We have a unique and exciting opportunity to live out our value of Radical Hospitality as we welcome congregations across the Minneapolis Area Synod to our Minneapolis campus on Friday, May 2, for the Opening Worship of the 2025 Synod Assembly.
This is a meaningful chance to gather with siblings in Christ from across our synod—to pray, sing and be inspired together in the Spirit. The service will begin at 6:30 pm and is open to all.
We’d love for you to attend—and we could use your help! Volunteers are needed to serve as greeters, ushers, parking lot hosts, and more. Let’s extend the same warm welcome to our guests we know and love here at Bethlehem.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Attend worship – come and be part of this joyful evening.
- Volunteer to serve – sign up to help us offer gracious hospitality.
Let’s show the synod what it looks like to be Alive Together: A New Creation in Christ.
With gratitude,
Pastor Chris
April 15, 2025 – Celebrate Easter at Bethlehem
Dear Bethlehem Friends and Family,
I invite you to join us for worship on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. These days commemorate the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and embody the very essence of our church’s Vision, Mission and Values—an unwavering commitment to discipleship, community, and the transformative power of Christ’s love.
Understanding the Triduum
The term “Triduum” refers to the three-day period at the close of Holy Week that includes:
Maundy Thursday: A day recalling the Last Supper, when Jesus washed His disciples’ feet and served his last meal, setting an everlasting example of humility and servant leadership. This day reminds us to embrace the call to serve one another, reflecting our shared mission of love and community. Maundy is derived from the word “maundatum” or “commandment”. Jesus gave a new commandment, one that is to be found written not on our courtroom walls but on our hearts: “Love another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” —John 13:34 NIV
Good Friday is a solemn day commemorating Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross. In observing Good Friday, we are invited to reflect deeply on the magnitude of His sacrifice, a powerful testament to our values of redemption and hope.
Easter Sunday: A day of jubilant celebration as we proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith, affirming that new life, renewal, and hope are ever-present in our lives and in our mission to extend God’s grace to the world.
Why Observe All Three Days?
Participating in the entire Triduum enriches our spiritual experience and deepens our understanding of God’s redemptive work. We are reminded of the fullness of Christ’s sacrifice and the profound mystery of His love. Our hearts are invited to move from the humility of service to the sorrow of sacrifice and finally to the joy of resurrection. We renew our commitment to living out our church’s values by engaging in acts of service, reflection, and celebration that embody the love and hope of Christ.
This Holy Week, let us unite as a community to honor our Savior’s legacy and renew our faith in the promise of new beginnings. Please invite family and friends to join us as we worship and fellowship during these pivotal days. May the anticipation of Christ’s resurrection fill you with hope and inspire your heart to serve with compassion and humility.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Pastor Chris Enstad
