Celebration on June 7, 2026 at 10:00 am
[Grand Marais, MN] Greetings from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Grand Marais. We are now, officially, a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation!
After a time of faithful discernment, respectful dialogue, intentional education and heartfelt discussions, our congregation, with an almost unanimous vote, has adopted a new Welcome Statement and become an RIC congregation. This means we are an open and affirming church to folks who are in the LGBTQIA2S+ community and have a commitment to racial justice and racial equity.
We encourage full participation in the life of our church for all of God’s children. Our Mission Statement is: Belonging to Christ, Sharing Christ on the North Shore and Beyond. Please visit our website: sharingchrist.org
We are announcing this momentous event in our 126th year to all of our past and present parishioners, folks from all of Cook County and beyond. We invite you to come share your faith in Worship, Gospel, Communion and Fellowship on Sunday at 10:00 am and on Wednesdays (during the school year) at 6:00 pm.
We are celebrating becoming an RIC congregation on Sunday June 7th at our Worship Service at 10:00 am, followed by a picnic on the church lawn. We would love to have you celebrate with us!
Peace be with you all. Know that God loves you and made you to be exactly who you are!
