Lenten Events

Before Lent starts, we prepare a traditional "Shrove Tuesday" Pancake Supper for everyone; this year, the event will be held on Sunday, Feb. 19. On Wednesdays during Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday, we have Soup and Salad suppers at 6:00 p.m. followed by a Lenten service of Evening Prayer.

Brunches

One Sunday each month, we gather at 9:30 a.m. for a pitch-in brunch. This is a good time—between services—to meet others in the congregation.

Bridge Nutz

A bridge club meets monthly at a member's home, on the second Sunday of the month.

Dining In

Dining In groups organize annually. They meet monthly in each other's homes for an evening of homemade food and fun.

Dining Out

All adults are welcome each month to "Dine Out" at a selected Indianapolis restaurant. You may sign up to host—which means you pick the restaurant and make the reservation.

Summer Activities

The summer brings fellowship around Lemonade on the Lawn each Sunday, and everyone looks forward to the outdoor worship service and annual church picnic toward the end of the summer.

Congregational Retreat

The 2011 Retreat took place on Friday, Sept. 30-Sunday, Oct. 2. The Bethlehem Congregational Retreat is an opportunity to slow down from our busy lives. Theme: Some Lutherans & One Weekend (SLOW)

Advent & Christmas

We annually celebrate the feast of St. Lucia, which is special to Scandinavian Americans. Women of the congregation gather for Advent by Candlelight, an evening of calmness and serenity, dessert and devotions. On Christmas Eve we have punch and Christmas cookies between the evening services.

Other Special Events

From time to time other special events are publicized in the Blaze newsletter and in the Sunday bulletin.
