This March, Bethlehem is collecting food donations for our local food shelf partners. During MN FoodShare month, your gifts can make a real difference for neighbors in need, especially those impacted by ICE operations in the metro area.
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.
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.
This Lent, our Evensong liturgy will weave together poetry, traditional hymns, and new music to explore the idea of resisting evil by singing. Inspired by the recent nonviolent Singing Resistance movement (which was, in turn, inspired by the Serbian "Otpor" movement), we will gather together to reflect, recharge, and renounce evil through heartfelt worship.
ICA will host an Open House on Tuesday, March 3rd at our K-Tel Market. This will be open to all community members to come in, see our work in action, and learn more about how we’re working to fight hunger in our community.
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.
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.
Join Bethlehem Lutheran Twin Cities church member and accredited teacher Paula Haraldson to participate in a form of moving meditation called Tai Chi Chih.
Join us in the sanctuary at the Minneapolis campus for a choral concert presented by the Viterbo University Choir from La Crosse, Wisconsin.
