Is worship suitable for all ages?
Our congregation includes many generations and children are invited to participate in worship along with their parents, grandparents, or other caring adults. We believe that children learn to worship by being in worship, and we try each week to focus some aspect of worship specifically for children, often through a children’s message.
Is the church accessible?
There is an electric lift just inside the street level entrance on Perrin Street.

How do I get to Bethlehem Lutheran Church?
For directions and parking information, see the “Parking/Directions” page here.
How will I know what to say and do?
The whole order for service is printed in a bulletin for those who worship in person, and is also available on our website and sent in a Ready for Worship email each week, making it easy to take part and follow even for someone new to the Lutheran Church. We include songs and hymns in the bulletin so you can participate from home.

What happens in worship?
We gather with God’s people. We confess our sins and hear God’s promise of forgiveness. We communicate our joys, concerns, praise and thanksgiving with God through prayer and song. We hear about what God has done through reading from Scripture and through preaching. We commit ourselves to serving God as we leave worship. We trust that God is present when we gather together in the name of Christ!
Do I need to make a reservation to attend worship?
No! We do not require a reservation to attend worship. We do ask worshipers to share their presence through a sign-in sheet in case we have to provide contact tracing. Because not everyone in our community has access to vaccines, we ask worshipers to wear masks and practice distancing when gathering for worship and moving through the building.Do I need to make a reservation to attend worship?
