Our congregation is formal but friendly and we worship according to the historic liturgy of the Church, which includes singing hymns, reading from Scripture, hearing the sermon, sharing God’s peace, and celebrating Holy Communion weekly. Any baptized Christian regardless of church membership is welcome to commune. Those not yet baptized or who choose not to commune may still come forward to receive a blessing.
We welcome families at Bethlehem and invite children to participate fully in worship with us. A children’s sermon is a regular part of worship. There is a “cry room” adjacent to the sanctuary where the sermon is broadcast should that be needed. Children of any age are welcome to commune at the discretion of their parents. We also offer First Communion instruction in the fifth grade. Children whose parents wish to wait for instruction are invited to come forward and receive a blessing.
You may enter the building from either the Cedar St. or Front St. parking lots. Our deacons are present to answer any questions, assist you in finding a seat, and provide you with a service bulletin. Feel free to introduce yourself to any of our members. They will be excited to meet you!
Our worship service typically lasts an hour and fifteen minutes. We offer Faith Formation, which is our Christian education hour for youth and adults, immediately following the service.
