Bethel has a Staffed Nursery for younger children on Sundays from 8:30-11:30am. We see you as we see ourselves, vulnerable to the challenges of human relationships, and deeply beloved by God. We welcome you who have ever felt excluded by the church because of race, sexual

orientation, gender identity, age, physical or mental ability, family or economic status, or for a reason known only to you. We welcome you whether church life is familiar to you or your faith journey is new, whether you are certain in your beliefs or unsure what you believe. We invite you here because God is inviting you to be here. Striving to create a place where all feel safe and can find peace, let us share the unconditional love of God and, in the power of the Holy Spirit, work together to extend grace, mercy, and justice – within Bethel, in our communities, and the world. Bethel Lutheran was founded in 1855, the campus is located blocks from the Capitol. Through Bethel Horizons, a beautiful camp and retreat center near Governor Dodge State Park, thousands experience growth in their faith. Bethel is a Reconciling in Christ congregation. Bethel is part of the South-Central Synod of Wisconsin-ELCA.

On May 12th, Bethel members supported our Adopt-A-School partner, Emerson Elementary, at their Annual Family Brentwood Event. Bethel volunteers handed out nearly 400 popsicles to students and families gathered for an evening of free food, entertainment, and community celebration in the Brentwood neighborhood, where many Emerson families live.

Bethel is grateful for this ongoing partnership and the opportunity to support local students and families throughout the year through meals, donations, volunteering, and community events. Service and connection are an important part of life at Bethel Lutheran Church. From outreach ministries and community meals to music, study groups, and volunteer opportunities, there are many ways to get involved, build relationships, and make a difference. We invite you to explore Bethel and discover a welcoming community of faith, service, and belonging.

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has released a statement on the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

“As the ELCA, we must speak plainly: violence rooted in hatred is sin. We condemn Islamophobia and acknowledge its rise in recent years. Our church affirms that “anti-Muslim hatred is antithetical to our Christian faith” (A Declaration of the ELCA to the Muslim Community), for we are called to love our neighbor in ways that cast out fear (1 John 4:18).”

Congratulations to Bethel’s recent confirmands! Confirmation is an important milestone in the life of faith, and we give thanks for these young people and the dedication they have shown through worship, study, service, and prayer.

As a congregation, we rejoice in their affirmation of baptism and celebrate the ways they continue to grow in faith and community. We are grateful for their families, mentors, and teachers who have supported them along the way. May God continue to guide and strengthen them as they live out their faith in the years ahead.

Bethel’s own art group, Studio 21, was hard at work today! 🎨 The group meets every Friday for two hours to explore painting, sculpture, photography, and more—sharing ideas, inspiration, and encouragement along the way.

What aspiring artist wouldn’t want camaraderie and a welcoming, creative space to make art? At Bethel, Studio 21 is just one of many social, creative, and caring groups where people can connect, grow, and belong.
