Events and Activities : Bethlehem Lutheran Church to hold Bake Sale

Bethlehem Lutheran Church at 1206 C Ave is having a bake sale this
Saturday, May 16 from 9-12.





 The proceeds are going towards sending 7 kids
and 2 adults from Bethlehem to the Youth Gathering in Detroit Michigan in
July.
The ELCA Youth Gathering for high school-age youth takes place every three
years and is about faith formation, worship, study, fellowship, service
and play.
It is an opportunity for youth to engage with peers from across the United
States and the world who share a common commitment and faith in Christ.
The Gathering will be held July 15-19, 2015, in Detroit, Mich.
The Gathering is a five-day event that begins on a Wednesday evening and
ends with a service of communion the following Sunday morning. The opening
night sets the stage for the days ahead in which young people may have an
encounter with Jesus that energizes their faith and helps them discover
their call to serve in the world - locally and globally.
On the days between Wednesday and Sunday, young people rotate through a
variety of service learning experiences in the surrounding community. They
explore and strengthen their faith by studying God's word, serving their
neighbor, sharing bread and wine in worship, participating in lively faith
dicussions and broadening their experience of God's world and diverse
communities through travel.
