Laudamus Concert:
Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 7:00PM at Bethany Lutheran, Long Beach Campus
Laudamus, the premier choir of seminarians from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, will perform at several locations throughout Southern California during its 2026 tour scheduled for March 14–19. The tour theme, “Lamb of God, Who Takes Away the Sin of the World,” is drawn from the Gospel of John and reflects the Lenten season.
Each performance will include a variety of musical selections centered on Christ’s sacrificial love and the promise of salvation. “Our program this year focuses on Christ as the Lamb of God. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus, to be the perfect sacrifice in our place,” said Dr. Samuel Eatherton, assistant professor of Practical Theology, kantor, the Kreft Professor for Music Arts and director of Laudamus. “John the Baptist saw Jesus one day and exclaimed to those around him, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!’ We pray God will help us reflect that same enthusiasm as we sing of all that Christ has done in winning salvation for us, so that we might live as His children.

The Bethany Broadcast:
The Bethany Broadcast is a weekly capsule of worship highlights and big information that your brain may or may not have ‘downloaded’ from the prior Sunday. The purpose is to bolster you in faith, build you up in the key Biblical themes shared the previous Sunday in worship, to bring to mind the important issues on Bethany’s plate and to broaden your awareness of opportunities of service to your Lord, your church, and your community. What you are receiving today is the expanded e-version of The Bethany Broadcast. A printed copy of The Bethany Broadcast will always be available for you to pick up as you leave worship each week.
