7/8/2020 - Update

​

​

The Congregation Council of Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church has formulated and approved the BELC Re-Opening Plan for us to safely resume in-person worship at the appropriate time. The Re-Opening Plan has been designed in conjunction with the MI Safe Start Plan and will be implemented when the public health data deems it safe for large in-person gatherings. We are currently in Phase 4 of the MI Safe Start Plan, which does not allow for large indoor gatherings. Phase 5 of the Plan allows for gatherings of no more than fifty (50) people indoors with face masks and social distancing (6’). As Council stated in the announcement of the Plan, BELC will not immediately resume in-person worship services when it is deemed safe by the MI Safe Start Plan. Council will make sure that all safety protocols are in place and that the worship environment at BELC is safe and secure for all our members.

 

We will continue to provide updates to keep everyone informed.

 

May God continue to bless you and Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church. And please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

 

Pastor Matt
