As part of the Ministry Outreach with St. Miriam's Church and the Ecumenical Order of Charity, and thanks to generous donations from our benefactors, we have been able to offer emotional, material and spiritual support to many who are hungry & needy in our midst for several years now.
Over the past several months, our ministry has provided assistance with food, medical, housing and other living expenses to folks in our local area who have found themselves struggling during these most difficult and trying times. We have been able to assist families with having groceries delivered to their homes, we helped a family with a mortgage payment, we made it possible for one individual, who had no health insurance, keep an appointment with their medical specialist and we assisted another individual with procuring a phone to keep them connected to their loved ones! This past Thanksgiving holiday, Bethlehem House Ministries was able to warm the homes of 7 families with turkeys and all the fixings.
Our "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" Project also provides food, shelter, clothing, medicine, emergency funds, education as well as other services and opportunities to young people in Africa that we have sponsored, "adopted," and have taken under our wings since 2019.
The work we do also includes, but is not limited to, celebrating Eucharist in people's homes or via Zoom, anointing the sick, blessing homes, officiating at weddings, performing baptisms, providing spiritual guidance and prayerful support, along with breaking the bread of food and fellowship around our table at Bethlehem House.
We so love what we do, and we hope to continue to touch and profoundly impact the lives of our needy brothers and sisters, both locally and abroad, in a positive and significant way for many more years to come. We look to you to help us help them!
We sincerely thank the generous individuals who from time to time have become members of our "village" supporting our work and mission. Without such support we would not be able to do all that we have done. We continue to be in need of such generosity as we carry on the task of breaking 'bread,' celebrating friendship, embracing gratitude & kindness and sharing the love and mercy of God with ALL!

ADVENT DAYS ARE DAYS OF JOY

This Sunday invites us to rejoice—not because everything is perfect, but because God is already at work in the cracks and chaos of our lives.

This Sunday invites us to rejoice—not because everything is perfect, but because God is already at work in the cracks and chaos of our lives. John the Baptist calls us to prepare the way, not by becoming someone else, but by clearing the clutter that keeps us from hope. Advent joy isn’t noisy or naive; it’s the quiet confidence that even in a weary world, Christ is drawing near with healing, justice, and tenderness. Rejoice—because God is already doing something new in you, right now.
On this Gaudete (Joyful) Sunday, we’re reminded that joy isn’t something we wait for at the finish line; it’s what God plants in us right in the middle of our unfinished, imperfect lives. Again, John the Baptist urges us to make space for the One who is coming—not through grand gestures, but through small acts of love, kindness, honesty, compassion, and openness to grace. God meets us exactly where we are, but never leaves us there.
And here’s the challenge for our moment: in a world running on division, outrage, fear, and hurry, can we choose to be people who make room for joy, who practice mercy when it’s inconvenient, and who prepare the way for Christ by the way we treat one another? That’s the Advent work. And it’s ours to do—today.
