Bethlehem Bits 02/09/2012
Bethlehem is connected: It was awesome – and inspiring! I recently attended the second year of the Head of Staff Seminar held at the Duncan Center in Delray Beach, Florida. More than 100 pastors from all over the ELCA attended this wonderful continuing education event. I am thankful for the partnerships available to us as members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The seminar was a cooperative venture of the ELCA, Augsburg Fortress, Augsburg College Center for Faith and Learning, Vibrant Faith Ministries, and the Center for Emotional Intelligence. You are making a difference: Amani ikae nanyi (Peace be with you). Christ’s worldwide embrace becomes known to us through our partnerships. Whether in Tanzania, or in the USA, worshipers greet one another with words of peace. Your gifts to Bethlehem help us keep all of our partnerships active. Thank you. Bethlehem’s Mission Statement: Sharing Christ with you and your home. Upcoming: Sunday, February 12: The Reverend Amanda Bergstrom, Grace Lutheran Church, Woodstock, leads worship and adult class. Wednesday, February 22 7:00 pm: Ash Wednesday. Wednesday, February 29 7:00 pm: Midweek worship See you soon! Pastor Gary CommentsLeave a Reply | AuthorGary Erickson ArchivesMay 2012 Categories |
