Bethlehem Lutheran Church – Aloha, OR

As we leave the October celebration of the Reformation behind, we move forward into November with thankful hearts. We are thankful for the Gospel that changes us—our hearts, our mind and our habits.

Last year to celebrate our sixtieth anniversary as a congregation, we adopted four guidelines for our mission and ministry. Two of them involved the relationships between our members and our community.

One of the four goals of our mission focus that developed out of congregational self-study last year—and was celebrated during our 60th Anniversary service—was to re-build our congregational “infrastructure”. We want to rebuild our network of small groups.
