News & Events

BLC news and upcoming events

Our Monthly Calendar

Our calendar is published on page 3 of our monthly newsletter, The Bethlehem Star.
At present, no "official" new newsletters will be published until this pandemic has subsided and we are permitted to reunite at BLC.

A "Brand" New YouTube Channel

Due to the limitations of BLC's old "personal" YouTube Channel, a "brand" new YouTube Channel was created to meet our needs. Please unsubscribe from the old channel and subscribe to the new one. Thank you.

Archived recordings that already existed on the old channel have been uploaded to the new channel. All "missing" sermons and worship services will be added as time permits.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Worship Services and Calendar Events

Until further notice, all worship services, Bible studies, and calendar events at Bethlehem Lutheran Church are being suspended or provided online.

What does this mean?

We should fear, love, and trust God above all things.
We should love our neighbours, including by doing our part to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and resulting COVID-19 disease. A COVID-19 Symptom Self-Assessment Tool (Canada) and a COVID-19 Self-Assessment (Alberta) are available online.
We should daily read, study, and meditate upon God's Word (the Old and New Testaments).
We should daily talk to our God in prayer (including the Lord's Prayer). He knows our needs and our struggles, but He loves us and encourages us to come to Him in prayer. As such, let us be bold to daily confess our sins to God in prayer and trust in His forgiveness bought for us in Christ Jesus. Let us pray daily for all those struggling with COVID-19, other physical and mental ailments, and financial hardships. Let us pray daily for our pastors, our brothers and sisters in Christ, our governments, our heath care workers, our neighbours, our enemies, and all those who are working so that we might continue to have access to food, water, electricity, medication, and other basic needs. Let us daily give thanks to our God in Christ Jesus for His love and forgiveness; and His provision of food, clothing, shelter, spouse, family, friends, and neighbours; and for the ability to come together and communicate with each other from home via internet and phone.
We should daily (or regularly) meet on BLC's Facebook page to hear Pastor Lyons proclaim God's Word to us along with a sermon or a nightly Daily Devotion.
We should regularly meet on BLC's Facebook page or new YouTube Channel for livestreamed worship services on Sunday mornings and on BLC's Facebook page for livestreamed or (unedited) recorded nightly Daily Devotions on other days. Pastor Lyons, our congregation's President, our Elders, and others are brainstorming what future online worship services, etc., might look like.

The Bethlehem Star

Our congregation has a monthly newsletter called The Bethlehem Star, which has been published locally for many years. In 2016, a PDF edition of our newsletter began to be released on this website. In mid-2018, BLC's Facebook page went public and our newsletters were released in its Photos Albums section (sorted by year).
Our newsletters include the monthly Calendar, Serving the Lord Schedule, and other information.
