Bethlehem has a tradition of enhancing worship services with a variety of both vocal and instrumental music. We look for and welcome people willing to share their gifts. Whether you sing or play an instrument, are a beginner or a professional, we invite you to explore the musical opportunities at Bethlehem and join us.
See below for various music ensemble opportunities including vocal and instrumental groups. Please contact the Worship Chair (worship@bethlehem-lutheran.net, 303-776-3290) for more information.

Musical Ambassadors to Atria Senior Living
On the second Sunday of the month, we head over to Atria Senior Living, Longmont immediately following our second service to sing, read scripture and pray The Lord’s Prayer with the residents. This is the only church they have. Please join us in bringing joy to some who cannot make it to a more formal service. All are welcome. For more information contact, Jeanne P.
