Ebenezer has resumed in-person gatherings. Below is a brief overview of our guidelines for the summer. We invite you to read the message from our Elders and the complete reopening details HERE.  As September 5 draws near, we will reevaluate our next steps, so please stay tuned.

June 28 – September 5, 2020

Sunday Morning Worship Services
8:30am & 11:15am
We are grateful to resume in-person worship services at their normal times.  We are eager to fellowship together again, but also understand some will need to continue worshiping with us remotely.  Therefore, our  Live Simulcast (https://livestream NULL.com/EBFCStream/weekly-sunday-service-2020) is still available at 8:30am, with the recording available anytime afterward.  For those worshiping with us in person, we will have limited seating in the sanctuary and overflow seating in the gym. Social distancing is encouraged; “no-touch” methods are in place; face masks for entering and exiting the building are recommended (may be removed once seated); visiting is encouraged to be done outdoors. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer childcare during the worship services for the remainder of the summer. However the nursery & parlor rooms remain open for self-service, should families need them.

Sunday School
10:05 – 10:45 am
For the summer, the only class available is the Family Class on Psalms in the gym. All ages are welcomed! Please come and bring your kids! (No separate classes for children or teens will be held.) The class will end at 10:45am so that we have time to sanitize everything before Second Service.

Additional Events
Please check out our Events Page or Calendar for additional events, Bible Studies, and activities being offered at this time.

Wednesdays, 6:30 – 7:30 pm
Resumed In-Person on July 1, 2020

Our Mid-Week Service has resumed gathering in-person at our evening time of 6:30 – 7:30 pm. This time of singing, Bible study and prayer is led by Pastor Tim and/or our other pastors. This summer we are studying the book of 2 Timothy. It is held weekly, year-round in the sanctuary. It is open to all ages, with a standing invitation for anyone and everyone to come. No need to sign up, just come!  (Social distancing is encouraged, masks are not required.)

Sundays, 10:05 – 10:45 am
July 12 – Aug 30, 2020

As we resume in-person gatherings after Covid-19, we are excited to invite our church families to attended this class (yes, even children!) as we explore the sacred hymn book of Psalms together, seeking to make it relevant for the entire family. Held in the gym. Taught by Pastor Dick Bickings and Scott Holwick. Hope to see you there!

The book of Psalms is filled with the songs and prayers offered to God by the nation of Israel. Their expressions of praise, faith, sorrow, and frustration cover the range of human emotions. Some of the Psalms dwell on the treasure of wisdom and God’s Word. Others reveal the troubled heart of a mourner. Still others explode with praise to God and invite others to join in song. This diversity is unified by one element: they are centered upon the one and only living God. This Creator God is King of all the earth and a refuge to all who trust in him.

We are excited to invite boys and girls ages 5-12 to join us for an outdoor Bible club at the Lower Nazareth Township Park. Teachers trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship will be teaching this 1.5 hour club held each day for five consecutive days. The club includes: a dynamic Bible lesson, inspiring missionary story, songs, Scripture memorization, prepackaged snack, and a craft. Each child should bring a towel to sit on and a water bottle. Children do not need to wear masks as they will be socially distanced. You may stay with your child, or leave your child at the club.

Please sign up your child online (https://form NULL.jotform NULL.com/202086303292145) and indicate the time your child can come. Program times are assigned on a “first come first serve” basis as we will try to space children out to keep social distancing in place.

All of the teachers are screened by the Child Protection Policy of CEF, and members of Ebenezer who are helping to host the club have completed background checks.

LOCATION:
Lower Nazareth Township Park
306 Butztown Rd, Bethlehem, PA 18020
When you arrive at the park, please park in the Lower Nazareth Park, parking lot (not behind the Lower Nazareth Township building).
