Opening Devotion – Luke 24: 36-49
We have an incredible message to share, and we need to understand the scriptures. We also need to proclaim it outside our church, we are the witnesses. As we look to the future, it is important that we understand what it is we need to do.
2, Mission Statement
BLC’s mission is to share God’s Word with His community.
3. Developing Vision Statement
Bethlehem Lutheran Church is united together and equipped by God to speak his truth in love while serving those placed before us within our local communities. God calls us to be “fishers of men” and as God’s stewards, we at Bethlehem Lutheran Church are casting the net of God’s grace of eternal life to our fellow members of Bethlehem and also to those who do not yet believe in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Kathy and Sandy will work on massaging the statement.
