"As pastor of Bethel
Lutheran Church, and on behalf of every member of our church family, I
extend a warm welcome. Yes, we are a family. A family that desires to honor
God who we believe made us, saved us, and continues to care for us. We
have within our fellowship singles and married couples, youth, retired
persons, and people of various races, nationalities and religious backgrounds.
All are welcome to Bethel Lutheran Church. There is a place for you too.
We invite you to worship and learn with us. Together we can share and grow
in the Christian faith." |
