From the Youth Team
Yes, it is still cold, but we are already gearing up for summer! Registrations are
open! Read more about your options below, or at bethlehem-church.org.
• We are so thrilled to be partnering again with SERVE BOLDLY. This
summer we will go to Atlanta to do food ministry for folks experiencing
hunger. We will also visit historic sites of the Civil Rights Movement
including Ebenezer Baptist church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
worshipped. June 16-21.
• The seniors will relax and reflect on their time at Bethlehem in the
beautiful APOSTLE ISLANDS. July 15-19.
• Youth will help run the KAPOW! VBS for little kids. There is no better
way to grow in faith than to disciple young children in their exploration.
AND, after you volunteer, sign up for afternoon field trips! June 24-28.
• Youth will sing, study and play their way through the week at GREEN
LAKE BIBLE CAMP. July 14-19.
• And, we’ll send a group to brave the rapids of the Flambeau River on a
canoe trip with Camp Amnicon. July 28-August 2.
If you would like to get more involved in our youth
