We Are Family in Christ
March 5 – Family Far Away. . Prof. Wordell serves as the World Missions Seminary Professor at Wisconsin Lutheran seminary. He travels the world to partner with international seminary programs in our fellowship. Learn about the many opportunities the Lord is presenting us around the world. Come to appreciate the big family you have in Jesus, family far away.

March 12, 19, 26 & April 2, 9 – Overheard in the Narthex. . Imagine that you’re coming out of church after a Sunday morning service and overhear a conversation being held between two Bethlehem members. In the course of the conversation, one member shares something that’s going on – a sickness or death in the family, addiction, parenting struggles, etc. What do you say in response to your struggling Christian brother or sister? How might we turn these “everyday conversations” into opportunities to encourage each other in our Christian walk?
Study Leaders are Pastor Arnold, Pastor Russ Schmidt, and Professor Geiger
April 23, 30 - An Adopted Family: A Study of Ruth. . It's frequently said that "You can pick your friends - but you can't pick your family!" But is that really true? Join us as we study the book of Ruth, a story that reminds us of the great privilege of being "adopted" in the people of God!
Study Leader is Pastor Arnold
Martin Luther
Reformer in the Making
The book focuses on Martin Luther's early life, education, young adult years, and early years as a university professor. Author Erwin R. Scharf provides a fascinating description of how God used Luther's early years to mold Martin Luther into Luther the Reformer. Originally published in 1987 and republished in 2016.
This 112 page book is available in softcover and e-book; for sale through Northwestern Publishing House.

You'll learn about Luther and the Reformation within the wider historical context, both the history that preceded the 16th century, and the centuries that followed the Reformation, all the way to the present.
Spiritual Growth Board
The Spiritual Growth Board exists to recommend Biblical material and provide opportunities for Bible Study so that, growing in their understanding of God’s Word, Bethlehem’s members will increase in their spiritual maturity and grow in their service to the Lord.
“Come for the Peace, Stay for the Fun”
Save this brochure. Take it home and stick it on your bulletin board or on the fridge. Someday, you might be seeking peace in the Lord’s Word. Our Bible Studies provide a less structured, in-depth understanding of God’s Word and its meaning in our lives. It’s also fun to get to know fellow believers better in these informal study and discussion groups.

The Books of Thessalonians … Intense Persecution prevented the Apostle Paul from staying long in the city of Thessalonica, and as a result, he was compelled to write two letters to these new Christians. In these two epistles, the Apostle covers some of basic doctrines of the Christian faith, and in so doing gives great comfort to believers of all times. - Pastor Schmidt
