Bethlehem Lutheran Church is blessed by the ways in which our youth are stepping up and taking part in our worship and fellowship time together. I have noticed them helping to set up and serve Hospitality, learning to set the altar and serve wine during communion, reading scripture, helping with the proclamation computer, and learning to usher. They are sharing their gifts of music through song and dance and they share hugs and smiles. They truly are helping Bethlehem be a “Home to Share God’s Love and Grace.” Thank you to all our youth. Thank you also to the adults who are helping them develop their gifts and come to understand they are an important part of our community.
