We invite you to worship this Fifth Sunday after Pentecost at 9am in the Sanctuary! Members, please wear your name tags so our new Pastor can get to know you easier. If you need a name tag made, please call Jim at 602-751-9194 or contact him by email at missellienjim@yahoo.com .
Congregational Pictures! We will be taking pictures again today, Sunday, June 27th, before service begins, of members who haven’t had their picture taken, to put into a new directory for our new Pastor. Just face shots will do. Thank you Bethlehem!
After our worship service today, the congregation will convene in a special congregational meeting with the sole purpose of calling our approved candidate to become our next pastor. There will be two separate resolutions. The first will be to call the candidate. If that resolution passes, the second resolution will be to approve the compensation package. If both resolutions pass, our president or call committee chair will call him and report the vote.
The council, after much discussion, decided to make the following changes.
1) Bethlehem returns to one service at 9 am through Labor Day.
2) Masks during worship for the vaccinated is recommended, not mandated.
3) Masks are required for those who are not vaccinated for their safety.
4) No one will be asked if they are vaccinated.
5) If you are sick we ask that you worship with us online instead.
6) Please continue to enter through the Fellowship Hall.
7) No temperature checks, please sign in and sanitize.
8) There’s no longer a need to register prior to service.
9) The sanctuary will be set up for 70 chairs. This should be sufficient seating for all Sundays during the summer period.
10) Holy Communion will continue as currently practiced.
After Labor Day, the council will review all Covid-19 protocols.
