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.
Join Bethlehem for one of Minneapolis’ most joyful summer traditions!

How inclusive are our faith communities for those whose brains work differently than the “norm”? We are called upon by our faith to love and care for others, but that can be challenging if we don’t understand what might be behind certain behaviors that fall outside the realm of “normal”. This program is designed to enhance or develop your understanding of what it means to be neurodivergent and how you and others can help to create a more fully welcoming space in your faith community for neurodivergent persons.
