Bethlehem Lutheran Church, founded November, 28, 1901, is celebrating 125 years of faith with a yearlong monthly challenge.

A kickoff brunch was held Sunday, April 12, with a challenge to collect 125 food items to donate to the food shelf.

The event served 71 people and 175 food items were collected to be donated.

Each month there will be a different challenge to commemorate and celebrate the church and its upcoming quasquicentennial.
