Bethlehem United Methodist Church, Franklin, TN

 
Bethlehem United Methodist Church is a historical congregation located in the heart of the Grassland community on the northern side of Franklin.  We would love to have you come visit us for worship.  On Sunday mornings, we offer two distinct worship services, with Sunday school classes for all ages at 9:30 AM.  Our 8:15 AM service is a traditional, liturgical service and features the music of our Chancel choir.  Our 10:45 AM service is a contemporary service that is led by a praise band.
 
TW@B Notes (This Week at Bethlehem) (click here for all the TW@B Notes)
This past Sunday after church we asked if some could stay and help move the desks, furniture, filing cabinets, and other large things out of the offices, Gathering Space, and Narthex so the carpet installers could get started Monday morning. There were so many people who pitched in to help that it really only took 15 minutes. I envisioned if only 10-15 people showed up it would take a couple of hours. With the 65+ people who came to help, though, it was quick work. As we laughed at how easy this potentially hard job was, I just thought about the potential that is here in the church. If we work together and all pitch in and do our part, then there is nothing that is impossible for us. I truly believe that. Sunday was a small example of the power of us all working together. It was a good reminder!

Celebrating their fifteenth year of community theatre excellence, the Bethlehem Players are hosting Broadway at Bethlehem: Divas & Desserts on Saturday, Feb. 18 with doors opening for a dessert extravaganza and a silent auction at 6 p.m.  At 7 p.m. the show starts with stellar line-up of singers taking the stage with a variety of Broadway tunes from Wicked to the hot new Addams Family musical.

Launching their first ever capital campaign, Broadway at Bethlehem is helping underwrite a needed lighting system and the upcoming second world premiere for the Players, Southern Fried Nuptials, from the award-winning writing team of Osborne & Eppler. A $15 ticket provides general admission to Broadway at Bethlehem.  For more info, 615-791-6456, ext. 2 or drama@bethlehemumc.com.  Southern Fried Nuptials is the hilarious sequel to the hit new comedy, Southern Fried Funeral, and will be staged April 13 – April 28 at Bethlehem UMC.  Stay tuned for more info including dinner show details, contact us for more info or visit us on Facebook at Bethlehem Players.
