Bethlehem has had a long tradition of excellent music, and for most of its history, music was rooted in traditional church hymnody. In 2012 Bethlehem added a second worship service to incorporate more contemporary music (led by a small band of acoustic guitars, keys, small percussion, a few vocalists) and a more informal structure. Since its inception, the early service has utilized modern worship music, contemporized hymns, folk, gospel, and other genres in a liturgy still centered on Word and Sacrament, but with emphasis on freedom and simplicity in the structure of the service. As the new service enters its sixth year, we perceive that there is potential for a fresh look at the form and design of the service.
