Join us for our Annual Lutefisk Dinner on Nov. 22, 3:30-6:30 pm! Click HERE for more information and to get your tickets.
This is a weekly discussion group for big questions about God, church, spirituality, and systems of belief. Each week invites conversation around a new theological question.
Prayer shawls are lovingly knitted and given to members and friends in our congregation who may have a health concern, facing a difficult time, or just so they know their church community is thinking of them and loves them.
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. Arrive early for worship on Sunday mornings for a brief litany of prayers for the world before services begin.
This November, Bethlehem is collecting food donations for our local food shelf partners. As the season of gratitude approaches, your gifts can make a real difference for neighbors in need. Bring non-perishable food items to Bethlehem anytime during November — place them in the grocery carts at the Minneapolis Campus or at the ICA table at the Minnetonka Campus. You can also give financially by donating online or by check payable to Bethlehem (note “ICA” or “CES” in the memo). Let’s fill the shelves and share the love this season! Note, our food shelf partners have asked to please be sure no food donations are beyond their expiration date.
Celebrate a new chapter in Bethlehem’s life together as we install Rev. Seth Patterson as our new Executive Director and Jen Gruendler as Family Ministry Coordinator at the Minnetonka campus. Join us in worship at the Minnetonka campus as we give thanks for their leadership and pray for this next chapter of ministry together.
Join Hospice Chaplain Rev. Mollie Dvorak for a conversation that breaks down the myths and stereotypes about planning for end of life care. She’ll provide resources, address concerns and answer your questions. Topics include anticipatory grief, building a support system, and the broad spectrum of options within hospice care.
The New Yorker hailed Edgar Meyer as ‘the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively chronicled history of his instrument.’ Meyer leads the dynamic Trio in a spellbinding exploration of sound and virtuosity. He is joined by Tessa Lark who won a Grammy nomination in 2020, and Joshua Roman who's playing of all six of the Bach Cello Suites was a hit video in 2016.
Experimental. Embodied. Experiential. These three words sum up the vision for our new Sunday evening worship service. Curated and led by Spirit Garage’s Andy Pokel in collaboration with Bethlehem pastors and volunteer musicians.
Join us for this month’s MHC Collaborative Education Meeting as we learn practical tools for communicating across political and personal differences. Presenter Jeff Thiemann from Braver Angels will guide participants in listening with empathy, sharing perspectives respectfully, and finding common ground—even when we disagree.
Join one or more of your pastors online for a generous exploration of the upcoming Sunday's preaching text and what it might have to say to our lives and world this week.
You can count on wonderful conversations, great connections, and delicious food every Wednesday night in Iverson Hall!
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. You don’t need a programmatic reason to eat—just an appetite!
