Can I Pray With You? (MPLS)
Mondays, January 28 to March 4, 6:30-8:30 pm
Join the Women’s Evening Bible Study on Monday nights this winter and let’s
learn how to pray together. This is a discipleship class vs. a bible study, because
the best way to learn how to pray is not to study prayer but to just dive in and
pray! Together we will learn and practice praying in a variety of ways, sharing
our personal prayers as well as those of our congregation, community, nation
and world. Register online at bethlehem-church.org.

Are you interested in learning more about Bethlehem? Have you wondered
about your next step? The new member sessions are a great way to learn more
about Bethlehem, ask questions, meet and visit with the pastors.
Comments from previous participants include:
“My family had the recent privilege of joining Bethlehem as members. We are thrilled
to have found such an eclectic and welcoming community. - For me the best part of
the class was validating what a unique and empowering community we have here.
The leaders are laid-back but fiercely committed to their vision: Connecting People
with God, each other & their Mission in the World.”
Join us on two Sundays as we have the chance to get to know one another
and this community better. We will enjoy lunch together both weeks, kids
are invited and child care will be available. Register online or contact Wendy
