WORSHIP AND MUSIC

Worship and Music

Bethlehem currently offers two different worship experiences. Regularly, we offer Sunday morning and Wednesday evening services following the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW). These services are enhanced by choir as well as vocal and instrumental soloists. One Sunday each month, usually the second Sunday, we offer a service lead by our Praise Team, a group consisting of acoustic guitars, bass, piano and singers.

All are invited to join in the music ministry whether as a soloist or a group participant; vocalist or instrumentalist. Please contact the church office (608-742-8502), or come talk with us before or after worship.

Organists: Karen McCulloch (head organist), Carla Gerhardt, Valerie Walth

Choir Director: Valerie Walth

Praise Team Members (as of 2008): Barney Bernander (Guitars, Mandolin, Bass, Piano, Vocals), Robert Fenske (Vocals), Jayne Ritter (Vocals, Piano), Amy Holstein (Vocals, Percussion), Heather Kucksdorf (Vocals), Dan Kucksdorf (Vocals), Patrick Strain (Guitars, Bass, Vocals), Jim Crawford (Vocals), Hope Fenske (Vocals, Piano), Emily Inglett (Drums), Kyle Kjorlie (Guitar, Bass), Kerri Melby (Vocals), Michaeleen Melby (Vocals)

PRAISE TEAM

Bethlehem's Praise Team exists to provide contemporary Christian music to occasional worship services. Currently the Praise Team provides music for one service per month (the second Sunday of each month).

Rehearsals are generally (but not always) every Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m.

If you would like to join the Praise Team, please contact the Church Office (608-742-8502). We would love an opportunity to discuss how you could share your musical talents.

If you have song suggestions, or other ideas or suggestions, for the Praise Team, please forward your suggestions to the Church Office (608-742-8502).

THANK YOU!
