Bethany UMW is an active group with over 100 members. We have 6 sub-groups ("circles") that meet the needs of all ages. We are active in many projects in the community- MUST, Open Gate, Battered Women's Shelter, as well as projects within our church. We actively support the mission projects of the Methodist Church and the needs of our own members. We attend the Spiritual Growth Retreats and the 20-30-40 Something Retreats in our church plus we are represented with district and conference officers. We hope you'll consider joining the UMW at Bethany to enjoy the friendship and fellowship of Christian Women.

At Bethany, the UMW are organized in the following "circles":

• Joymakers
• Sundowners
• Lamplighters
• Wedding Band
• Edna McGrady

If you are interested in joining the Bethany UMW, contact Pam Marler.

"The UMW shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church."
