As a member of Bergen Lutheran Church your name automatically goes on a Care Unit list. Our Care Units are one way we serve God together by caring about others in the family of Bergen. To Care is to "show concern and serious attention", to "think about" and to "pay attention to details". We are asked to show love, support and concern for everyone on its list. We encourage each group to find ways to relate to everyone in your unit. Click on Care Units link above to see more info on Care Units.
