Stepping Stones

The goal of our Stepping Stones ministry is to encourage and support parents in fulfilling the promises they made for their child at baptism, and to do so by creating an opportunity every year for parents and children to grow in faith together. Each Stepping Stone milestone includes educational time with our pastors, a fun activity or craft, and fellowship with other families. If you have any further questions, please contact Pastor Paisley Le Roy at pastor_paisley@bethlehemluth.org.

We understand the majority of our students missed a stepping stone over the past year so you may register for two workshops if you’d like. Otherwise you can just pick up with the workshop planned for your child’s grade level this school year (2021-2022). 

3 & 4 Year Olds: What does it mean to worship?

Sunday, April 24 / 9:40–10:40am

In this Stepping Stone workshop, children who are 3–4 years old are invited to explore the sanctuary with their parents, using their senses to learn more about what it means to worship God! The little ones will have an opportunity to splash in the baptismal font, learn about the pictures in the stained glass windows, and see the altar close up, among other exciting experiences! There is no cost for this program.

Please note: 3 & 4 year old Stepping Stone has been RESCHEDULED for Sunday, April 24 from 9:40–10:40am in the sanctuary. For more information and to register your child, please complete this form.
