Connection Celebration! Hosted by Bethany pastors & staff
on Selected Sundays
4:00 - 6:00 PM w Grimes Chapel 
This is the place to learn about Bethany, how to get connected within the congregation,
and how to become a member when you are ready to take that step
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about the Methodist Church and Bethany, as well as meet the pastors, staff, and key volunteers, and join the church if you are ready to make Bethany your church home. We begin promptly at 4:00 in the Chapel. Our Senior Pastor, Tom Deviney, discusses Methodist theology and history, information about Bethany, and the significance of membership in the church.
CHILDCARE is available for children 5th grade and younger, by reservation. Please reserve childcare when you RSVP to attend, preferably at least one week in advance. Childcare is located in the Fellowship Hall in F108. Please let us know the names and ages of your children.

*You are welcome to come explore and gather information about Bethany UMC, with NO obligation to join.
**We have a membership ceremony for those who wish to join the church, including an opportunity to be baptized if you are not already. Baptism is the only requirement for membership. There is a brief coffee and cookie break before the membership ceremony to allow those who do not wish to join the church to leave at that time and continue to discern if this is where they want to make their church home.
After the membership ceremony, there is an opportunity to meet and fellowship with the pastors and staff, and volunteers in each ministry area are there to help you explore ways to get connected at Bethany to learn, grow, and serve.
Our prayer is that we can help you Experience God’s Love, Know Jesus Christ, and Grow in His Image through our community of faith at Bethany.
