It’s a new time for FPC Bethlehem's Children’s Ministry, and one of the ways to get involved is with our vacation Bible school—Bible Ventures. We can’t wait to tell you  what is in store this year. Come partner with us, and see kids experience a life transforming relationship with Christ. This will truly be the most exciting time to be involved with Children’s Ministry.

Every June families gather for a week in Keene, NH to explore their faith and draw closer to God, creation and one another. Meet other families in worship, at meals, on the beach, playing games, and having lots of recreational fun.

The Giving Tree
During Advent, a tree is put up in Fellowship Hall and decorated with the names (and a gift wish) of  people reccommended to us from one of our local agancies—people who are not likely to receive any gifts for Christmas. Church members choose an ornament, pray for  the recipient and purchase and wrap a gift for them. The wrapped gifts are brought to the tree in Fellowship Hall on a designated Sunday to be picked up by the agencies and distributed to the recipients.

Gifts for Baby Jesus
Children bring baby care items and toys for poor babies such as Jesus, and present them at the 4 p.m. Christmas Eve service. These items are shared with babies in the Lehigh Valley through various agencies.

The Great Hour of Sharing
