From EAST To WEST: Bethel Christmas Celebration
Sunday, December 15th
Like the Wise Men Followed the Star; Let's Discover Jesus Together this Christmas
YOU are warmly invited to our Children's Christmas Worship Service at 10:15am where Bethel teens will tell the Christmas story from the gospels of Luke and Matthew and our BELC and Sunday School kids will act out the story in costume.
Worship will be followed by our From East to West Christmas Celebration from 11:00am - 1:00pm including "donkey" rides and a live animal petting zoo, games, crafts, Follow the Star scavenger hunt, live music performances in the Sanctuary, Cookie Walk Bake Sale, and a Live Nativity where you can meet Baby Jesus, Mary & Joseph and interact with the three Wise Men. Lunch will be served and kids will receive gifts of "gold, frankincense and myrrh" from the Wise Men.
This event is FREE* and open to our neighbors.
* Cookie Walk SALE will benefit the Bethel youth traveling to the National Youth Gathering 2025 in New Orleans.
What is service like at Bethel Lutheran in Westmont?
Our focus during service is simply following Jesus together. We approach this through a blended style of service mixing the traditions of Lutheran liturgy mixed with contemporary style music which all tie into a theme for the day which helps inspire and equip us for day-to-day living as followers of Christ. Some people dress up and others dress casually for worship. Or as David Crowder sings, "Come As You Are." Feel free to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
Blue activity bags are at the back of the church (where you entered in) to help keep little ones occupied during church. We also have an infant and toddler room you could go to during service for your child to keep busy and you will also be able to hear service. Ask anyone where that is and they'll show you!
The Lord's Supper is celebrated during worship on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends of the month.
Testimonial from our Music Director
When I interviewed for the music position at Bethel in 2020, I immediately felt comfortable enough to be myself. After the interview, I went home to talk to my wife about the experience and I told her how it felt like the right fit. We had been at a couple different churches prior; one that was similar in church size and structure, and another that was a non-denominational church with big music, but neither of those places felt like we were a part of it all.
I was told about the people at Bethel and that they call themselves the "Bethel Family." It didn't take long to witness that because everyone is so genuine. To be able to come to a place where we can come to church with people who believe the same thing, but more importantly people who seek to learn more about Jesus, made Bethel an easy choice.
If you are looking for a place to go to church, then Bethel is it. For all ages and the best part is if you have little ones, the Bethel Family does not mind one bit any noise that comes from a kid. In fact, the coo of a baby makes everyone smile. If you're looking for a community to be a part of, Bethel offers many opportunities to get involved and share the same vision as those around you. I hope you give Bethel a chance.
