“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:9
Life Together focuses first and foremost on the fellowship of our Lord in the Divine Service. It also involves quite literally a life together. We live together not just on Sunday morning but in life: uplifting, supporting, and encouraging one another.
For events and activities at Bethlehem, we invite you to check out our newsletter and calendar. Also, join us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for more up-to-date announcements.

Mite Box
Based on the Biblical account of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1–4), the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of “mites” — offerings above and beyond the support given to the congregation and the Synod. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants and implement the LWML program.
The mites collected at Bethlehem on the first Sunday of each month are sent to the California-Nevada-Hawaii district to support both the district and national mission projects.
Silverlights (50+)
SilverLights is a social group for all who are 50+ (and Pastor is allowed too).
We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 11:30am. Bring your own lunch to the Fellowship Hall of the church.
