BETHEL LUTHERAN CHURCH

        Come, witness the lighting of the first Advent candle...and prepare for the coming of Jesus, God's precious gift to all.  In-person worship is at 8:30 am today, December 3rd (scroll down for map), or click for virtual worship, below. 

Our toy collection for the Friends of Jesus Christmas Toy Drive  is underway.   Bring your spare change to Bethel, or donate new toys for needy children, ages infant to 18, by this Friday, December 8th.  100% of your gift goes to buy new toys worth at least $15.  We purchase, wrap, and label all gifts; then they are distributed to children through churches in central Milwaukee.  Help make this Christmas special.

*"The Noisy Can" Collection earns its name when donors drop their spare change into a tin can,  drawing our attention to community needs that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Join us  Saturday, December 9, 2023 from Noon to 2 pm  for Bethel's Faith, Family, Fun Program.  Bring a bag lunch, read a Bible story, and wrap gifts for the Friends of Jesus toy collection.  Christmas treats will be provided!

We're cooking for seniors here at Bethel.  Join us  Tuesday evening, December 12th, 2023, at 4:30 pm.  Bring a family member or other guest.  Reservations fill up fast, so RSVP to Muskego Food Pantry at (262) 679-6448 with dinner count and name of party.  We also offer worship following dinner at 6 pm; all are welcome.

Sometimes just talking about God helps us grow in faith and hope.   Have a cup of Joe with Pastor Jaime and talk about Scripture, faith, life, or whatever is on your mind.
Stop in at Vintage Grounds, a local coffee shop,  from 1-2 pm on Tuesdays in December.  Click here for more info or directions.
