Bethel UMC offers many opportunities for women to study God's word, fellowship with one another, give through various support ministry activities, and reach out to those in need. Many of these women's ministries have already been cited on the "Connections" page and the "Care Ministries" page. If you'd like to know more about them or are interested in participating, please call the church office. |

WOMEN'S CIRCLE GROUPS: Through Christian fellowship, devotional time, and prayer, our women's Circles strive to grow closer to each other as they grow closer to God. The Mary-Martha Circle meets for lunch at noon on the first Wednesday of each month at various local Restaurants. The Elizabeth Circle meets at 6:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month in the Parsonage Meeting House. For information, please contact the Church Office.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY: This group of dedicated crafters meets each week to knit and crochet prayer shawls to give to the sick, bereaved, broken, and lonely. As they knit, the group members pray for whomever it is that might be receiving the shawls. Once completed, the shawls are consecrated. If you know of someone who would benefit from the comfort and love demonstrated by the gift of a prayer shawl, please contact the church office at 645-9426 or click here to email us.
