Worship

Worship is at the very heart and center of our common life at Bethlehem.  Celebrating the liturgy common to Christians for centuries, we welcome people of all ages to join us in gathering around God’s Word and God’s Banquet Table of grace.   We lift our voices in praise and prayer joining the church in all places and throughout all ages in giving thanks and praise to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  God shapes and forms us in worship to live as servants loving others and seeking God’s peace and justice throughout the world.
