This year, Bethlehem will provide midweek worship options every week between February 18 (Ash Wednesday) and Holy Week in early April. Pastors from the area ELCA churches (including rural Fergus Falls!) will rotate to share messages each week.
We will center our worship and learning on the theme: Bread of Life. In these moments while many search for a way forward, the bread of life reminds us of Jesus’ abundance. There is enough love, grace, and hope for all. Bread of Life highlights how Jesus fed people – not just their bodies but their souls – with good news, redemption, and stories of God’s kingdom.
We pray that you find a place at Bethlehem to connect with Jesus this Lent. We also recognize this change as a new chance to be church together. Over the 6 weeks of Lent there will be many opportunities to serve others who show up to worship. Musicians, cooks, servers, kitchen clean-up, and more will be needed in order to gather together over a weekly Lenten meal. Please prayerfully consider investing in the Lenten season by sharing your own time and effort.
