PRAYER OPPORTUNITIES

We at Bethlehem have a great opportunity to pray for the special needs of each other, and also to offer prayers of thanksgiving. It is through the Prayer Chain! Many from the congregation have found great support and comfort knowing so many are praying for them and with them. If you are interested in adding your name to our Prayer Chain, please call the church office at 829-3330 or sign up on the Opportunity Page.

There is also an Intercessory Prayer Group that meets at the church every Wednesday morning from 9-10 a.m. They spend the hour praying for Bethlehem, its members and concerns. If you would be interested in joining them, please call 829-3330, or sign up on the Opportunity Page.

IHN REPORT

When Bethlehem helped the homeless IHN families in early January, 66 volunteers logged in over 380 hours. Thank you all for your assistance! Bethlehem hosts again the week of May 16-May 23.
