Support the BLC Vision

Building Lasting Community that follows Jesus…

that’s our vision as a congregation. It grows out of our recently completed 100th Anniversary celebration. Throughout the past year, we connected with pastors, musicians, and others who have shaped this community of faith over its 100+ year history! In reliving and relearning our congregational history, we remembered that building lasting community that follows Jesus has been our constant vision through all the changes and seasons of our life together.

This fall, we are excited about some new ways that we are living into this vision. Worship for Kids gives an age-appropriate opportunity for the littlest saints to hear and engage with God’s Word during worship on Sunday mornings. Our twice-weekly podcast, The Word from Bethlehem Lutheran Church, and our livestream worship reaches people who may never step foot in our sanctuary but who are fed by hearing God’s Word through our gathered community. We have become more engaged partners with Learning Links at the Pines of Perinton to provide school supplies for all of the children living there. Each summer, we show up weekly at the Pines to give away fresh produce and build relationships with our neighbors. For the year ahead, we’ve crafted a spending plan that prioritizes our music ministry and provides a clear staffing direction for strengthening our communication and engaging more people.

Following Jesus is our vision, but we can’t do it without a community. We can’t do it without one another. We are grateful for all the ways that you participate in the ministry we share. From worship to service, all that we are and all that we do is a response to God’s presence and gifts in our lives.

GIVE ONLINE

Going for Green:

A greener approach to giving: no paper required. An enormous amount of natural resources are consumed in the production, transportation, processing, and disposal of paper checks. The trend towards online payments has reduced the use of paper
checks by more than 50% since 2000.

Is online giving safe? Yes. In many ways giving online is safer than writing a check or carrying cash because an electronic gift cannot be lost or stolen. Bethlehem works with Tithe.ly, a respected service provider selected by the ELCA, to process our transactions. They employ top industry standards to protect and secure account information. Tithe.ly processes transactions for more than 5,000 churches and non-profits.
