Christian Education

Description of the committee from the Bethlehem Handbook:

"This committee, in association with the pastors and associates in ministry, oversees, conducts and promotes educational activities within the congregation.  C.E. encourages the use of teaching and worship materials published or approved by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and seeks to introduce the church’s periodicals and books of family devotion into the homes of the congregation.  The committee encourages, promotes and brings the pastoral ministry and other full time church vocations to the attention of qualified youth of the congregation."

A word from the Christian Education Chair, Dianne Blair:

"The Christian Ed committee's job is both fun and clear: We serve to foster a greater relationship with God, with joy and faithfulness. Our committee is unique in that we have been together for a long time, and yet we commit to have fun and learn as we go about this journey. From a faith formation standpoint, our committee truly is at the center of things - helping pave the way for kids from age 3 to middle school, and provides the bridge to our Youth and Young Adult (Y2A) ministry. We'd also love to invite some new members onto the committee, because we believe that inspiring ideas are always the seeds of lasting Christian Education."
