Welcome to Bethlehem Lutheran Church
We thank God for caring for Pastor Bernard, his family in Cap Haitien, and their family and friends in Port au Prince. All of Lutheran Churches in Haiti though experiencing some damage have by God's Grace survived.
We continue to pray for the suffering and dying in the country of Haiti as well as all the rescue and aid workers from the U.S. and around the world.
Lutheran World Relief is in Haiti at this moment helping with the relief effort. If you wish to help, we recomment going to their website.
Continue to pray for all those in
need both
spiritual and physically.

This is the Season of Epiphany (the Appearing or Manafestation) of Jesus. It begins at Advent and ends with the celebration of the Transfiguration of Jesus before the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. This time of the Church Calendar year is important because it marks the inclusion of Gentiles into God's plan of Salvation.
January 1 - Circumcision and Name of Jesus
January 6 - the Epiphany of Our Lord/the Baptism of Jesus
February 2 - Presentation of Our Lord
February 14 - Transfiguration of Our Lord
Remember that Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (February 17 this year).
The Fall 2009 Rite of Christian Initiation (RCI) Class, is taught by Pastor England. It started the first Sunday in Advent, but there is still time to register for the classes which will continue until Pentecost Sunday 2010. This is a class for those who are seriously intent on becoming communicant members of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. [Note: The format for this class will be different from the old Adult Information Class (AIC).]

Testament book has much to say about the Gospel and life of the Church
today.
