The BUZZ...

News and Current Events for December 1, 2020

NEWS UPDATE:

Based on your feedback and our need for the timely sharing of important information, The Bethlehem BUZZ has become our primary source of communication with members, visitors, and other friends of our church. We will no longer be publishing the Bethlehem Star, our former monthly newsletter.

We strive to keep information in the Buzz current and relevant to the life and ministry of our church as we seek to fulfill our vision... "Outward bound, together, with Christ renewing our spirit, we seek to make a difference in the world around us through the power of the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the Kingdom."

Anyone interested in subscribing to the Buzz, this bi-weekly email news flash, should please contact our church office. Peace!

Order of Worship for November 29, 2020

BUMC will be sharing a Live Nativity on Saturday, December 19, from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. Would you like to be a part of this event? To help behind the scenes or to sign up as a character in the nativity scene, email Billie Jean Elmer. A planning meeting will be this Thursday, December 3, at 1:00pm in the Fellowship Hall.

On Sunday, December 13th from 3-4pm we will have our Family Christmas Party on Zoom. Party kits will be available in advance for pick up or delivery for every family. Kits include cookies to bake and sprinkles to decorate with, hot cocoa, candy canes, and a few small goodies for the kids. We will spend the hour decorating cookies, playing games, and singing along with Christmas carols. Every kit will also have a portion of the Christmas story from Scripture for us to read together.

I hope this will be an afternoon of Christmas fun even if we can't all be together in the fellowship hall like years past. If your family is unable to attend the zoom party but do want to participate, you will still be able to pick up a family party kit. I hope you'll have fun together with your family and share pictures later!

Please RSVP to Maegan by Wednesday, December 9th if you will attend the Zoom party so that I can prepare enough boxes by Sunday, Dec 13th. I look forward to seeing you on Zoom!
