BETHEL LUTHERAN CHURCH

Could you experience complete calm in the middle of rumors predicting wars, famine, and  chaos?  Sounds a little like our world today.  But Jesus tells the apostles even though they face future trials ahead, those struggles are the beginning of a new world.  Join us in the calm of thought and prayer.

     Get here early on Saturday, November 23rd, to sample our homemade bakery, treats and holiday crafts.  Held one day only, our sale runs from 9 am to 3 pm and includes affordable items for everyone on your list.  Join us this year. Scroll down for map and other info.

      After engaging in a series of public arguments with religious leaders in the temple, Jesus contrasts the proud and oppressive ways of those leaders with the sacrificial humility and poverty of the widow. Join Bethel and all our friends in thought and prayer.  

    This month (through December 7) we are collecting toys and games for children in need, ages infant through age 18.  Friends of Jesus request gifts valued at $15 or more.  They ask us NOT to contribute clothing, Harry Potter items, Ouija boards, or Magic 8 Balls.  Please purchase toys (or gift cards for older kids) and drop them off at Bethel.  We’ll gather at 10 am on Saturday, December 7, to wrap gifts, have some treats and tell a Bible story together. If you wrap gifts in advance, please be sure to mark the age range and boy, girl, or either.  Please call if you have questions, or send them to Bethel via the Message Center, below.

  Have a cup of Joe with Pastor Jaime and friends from Bethel.   Stop in at Vintage Grounds, a local coffee shop in Muskego, any Tuesday in November between 1 and 2 pm.  Bring your thoughts on life, faith, Scripture, or whatever you'd like to share.  Tap the link for Vintage Grounds' address and menu info.
