Annual Report to the Congregation
Brian J. Claasen, Pastor
January 24, 2016
2015 was a great year at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, and not just because I became a grandfather for the first time!
It was a great year at Bethlehem because we are a community of faith gathered and held by God’s grace, gifted with
dedicated and creative leaders, and because Bethlehem is a community both listening and responding to the wind of the
Holy Spirit who calls us into fellowship and ministry for the sake of the world.
There is no small amount of anxiety in the organized Church these days; at the national headquarters of the ELCA
(Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), in the offices of our regional church headquarters, the Sierra Pacific Synod,
and in and among the vast majority of congregations. The Church, they say, is in decline. Statistics confirm significant
loss of membership, dramatic decline in Sunday church attendance, and the notable absence of the millennial generation
among congregational membership and leadership. It is happening across the board; large congregations and small,
Protestants and Catholics, and in all geographic regions of the country.
Bethlehem Lutheran is not immune to the trends. Sunday church attendance is not what it used to be. Our children’s
Sunday school can meet around one small table most Sundays. At sixty-two years old I sometimes hear myself referred to
around Bethlehem as “one of the young guys”.
Despite all that, 2015 was a great year at Bethlehem Lutheran. A great year because the leadership and the members of
Bethlehem set their focus and attention on ministry and outreach, on effective, meaningful, and inspiring worship, on
mutual care and support of one another, and on discovering and implementing new avenues of addressing the needs of
our community and world with the love, justice, and salvation offered through God in Jesus Christ.
2015 was a great year at Bethlehem Lutheran Church:
•
Together we distributed more than 1,000 “Life Pax” to the homeless in our community. •
We continue to support and build effective ministries of education in Rwanda Africa. •
Congregational members stepped forward and shared their faith in worship at midweek Lenten services and Thanksgiving Day celebration worship.
•
Vacation Bible School returned to Bethlehem in 2015, providing the love of Jesus in story, craft, and song to kids from both our church and our neighborhoods.
•
Our youth no longer meet on Sunday or Friday evenings for food and fun as the did in years past. Rather,they
volunteer and distribute food from Santa Rosa’s FISH food pantry to the needy in our community, they serve as ushers and worship assistants on Sunday mornings, and the pack and prepare the Life Pax that the congregation distributes.
•
We immerse ourselves in the Word with Circle Bible studies, weekly midweek Bible study, Confirmation classes for middle school students, Adult Forum text studies and more.
•
More than twenty-five children, many from Bethlehem Children’s Center, participate in our Wee Praise choir on Thursday afternoons, bringing their parents and grandparents to church on Sundays they sing during worship.
•
Bethlehem congregation through their generosity, continues to be one of the strongest financial supporters of our extended and shared ministries in the Sierra Pacific Synod and the ELCA, reaching the lives of millions with God’s grace and love.
It was a great year at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. I thank you for the privilege of partnering and serving (nineteen years!)
with you.
~Pastor Brian

Annual Report to the Congregation
Phyllis Hoover, President
January, 2016
Dear Members and Friends of Bethlehem,
It has been my pleasure and an honor to be a member of Bethlehem’s Council these past two years.
Each person on Council brings expertise of one sort or another to our group. This year we again relied
on Beverly Schaap and Lynn Carlson, our financial wizards. Michael Knudtzon probably writes the
most thorough minutes of any secretary I’ve known and brings his experience to us as a past president.
Bev Powell leads us in devotions at our meetings among her other duties as vice president. “It takes
a village” to do the business of the church. Thank you, dedicated Council Executive Board Members
for your cheerful service.
As Council president I found myself attending Commission meetings as a floating observer. That has
been one of the exciting experiences of the “church in action” for me in 2015. The Commissions/
committees are groups of Bethlehem members dedicated to carrying out the various missions and
programs of the church. The leaders, Cal Eriksen, Property; Joy Petty, Youth; Mark Jacobson,
Stewardship; Erin Abel/Carolyn Cole-Schweizer, Worship; Wanda Lee, Education; Elaine Adams,
Witness and Service, along with representatives from the Bethlehem WELCA and BCC Board, Lisa
McIntyre/Janet Bergman, and Janet Krug, respectively gather with their committees to talk, and plan,
dream up new activities and programs to enhance the ministry of the congregation. Those Wednesday
evening Commission meetings turn the Parish Center into a veritable bee hive, abuzz with the work
of the church. My heartfelt thanks to all who participate. You are the core of our congregational life.
It has also been my privilege to work with Peggy Bimbi in the office. She has been ever ready to
supply and anticipatye the needs of the Council. Her helpful accommodations for all who ask are too
numerous to mention here, but we all appreciate what she has meant to us. Thank you Peggy.
I expect the pastor of a congregation is the one who really sets the tone of the overall feel in a church.
Bethlehem is a happy place. We laugh a lot together. We enjoy each other’s company. We worship
with joy. When sorry comes we are given hope and comfort. It is Pastor Brian who is at the heart of
our life. He is a gift God has given BLC. Thank you, God, for Pastor Brian, and thank you Pastor
Brian for being our faithful shepherd.
I often marvel at other gifts God has given us. Our talented musicians, Barbara Laferriere at the organ,
Janet Bertoli and Barbara leading our adult choir, Janet and Laura Lightfoot dedicated to the children’s
choirs and bringing them the message of Jesus’ love, and the many unnamed workers. You know who
they are.
“Our God is an awesome God” we sing with the children. Indeed He is! May we all be renewed in
2016 to give our best to His awesome church.
Love in Christ,
Phyllis Hoover

In preparation for festival services, volunteers assist with displaying banners, arranging floral displays and decorating the sanctuary and narthex as appropriate.

•
Communion Bread Bakers provide a supply of fresh communion bread.
•
Oil Keepers take turns filling oil in altar candles (monthly rotation).
•
Choirs are directed by Janet Bertoli, Barbara LaFerriere (organist), Laura Lightfoot (youth choir) and Melissa Kuhn (bell choir). The choirs provide opportunities for all members of the congregation to contribute their musical spiritual gifts to worship.
•
Readers and Assistants read the lessons of the day and assist the pastor during worship services, including the distribution of the Eucharist. Parents of acolytes often volunteers to read/assist on Sundays when their child is acolyting.

Bethlehem Children’s Center
2015 - A Year of Transition
Janet Krug, Representative
Deborah McNally & Tiffany Perry are the new Co-Directors of BCC. Back in September they hit the
ground running with enrollment, teacher in-service planning, facility challenges and new beginnings for
teachers, children and families. Our Mission and purpose is to continue to provide a loving Christian environment where children can grow physically, cognitively, socially/emotionally and spiritually. Our hope is
to develop in every child a loving respect for one another and for the wonder’s of God’s world! (taken from
BCC Mission Statement).
About Us:
We have five classrooms: an infant center, a toddler component, a three’s program, a four’s pro
gram and a Transitional/Kindergarten
 We are licensed for 100 children
Our annual unannounced licensing visit was last week and we are 100% in compliance - no defi
ciencies of any kind reported
We continue to have a long waiting list especially in our youngest classrooms.
We have rich teacher to child ratios
Many of our teachers have been with us for 10-20+ years. We also have some “new/young” teach
ers striking a good balance
 The teachers plan and provide quality curriculum and develop unique environments
 Our teachers lead by example ~ incorporating prayer and Christian values into their lesson plan
ning and every day life at the Children’s Center
Administrative goals:
Facelift for the facility ie: cleaning up, throwing out and focusing on effective storage
Looking at enrollment with a strategic focus
 Develop some new ideas for our annual teacher in-service training and cost trimming
 Continue in the “Self Study” aspect of NAEYC Accreditation (National Association for the Edu
cation of Young Children)
Cutest Story of the Week:
Just last week in the Panda room, two little toddlers curled up on the sofa with Mrs. McNally and
handed her a book to read. As she began to turn the pages of the book the two little girls spotted a picture of
a baby and declared knowingly, “that’s Baby Jesus, I love Baby Jesus!”, they then burst into a joyous round
of Yes, Jesus Loves Me! We know God is in control at our Center and He has big plans for us. We’ll continue to plant “faith seeds” in the lives of our youngest learners and their families.
