United Methodist Women

The United Methodist Women are a part of the global ministries of our great church. In our district, we at Old Bethel are one great unit of women who work and care for the poor of the world, including the displaced and disenchanted residents of our own city. Look below to learn more about the different monthly Circle Meetings offered with your friends and sisters in Christ!

Last year, there were 144 Sisters in Christ that participated in 11 smaller groups called circles.  These groups are diverse and they decide their own goals and programs for the year.  All share in friendship and fellowship, and support each other in their walk with Christ.  Business is conducted by a large Executive Board, subject to the approval of the group as a whole.  Scroll to the bottom of the page to find out more information about the Exec. Board.
