Bearing in mind Bethlehem's Mission Statement of "being and making disciples," the Evangelism Committee welcomes and facilitates the reception of guests and new members. The Committee oversees the church library and promotes growth in faith through lectionary readings, Lutheran magazine subscriptions, videos, movies, and community events, plus also provides activity bags for children to enjoy during worship.
