2024 Christmas Alternate Giving Option

This year’s Christmas Alternate Giving option is to support Zimbabwe Ambulances. Bethlehem joins an effort of the Upstate New York Synod this Advent to invite support for the “Advent is for Ambulances” Giving Challenge. Throughout the Advent and Christmas season, congregations across the synod are invited to raise money for new ambulances for our companion church in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe. Each ambulance is $40,000 and we are striving to raise enough support for up to four vehicles. Your support will save lives and support the work of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe.
