Adult Fellowship

We offer many activities to allow adults of all ages to enjoy Christian fellowship. From outings and get togethers such as progressive dinners and out of town trips, we provide many ways for you to get to know other members of the congregation and build a church family.

Here’s a list of some of the adult groups that are active at the church. If you are interested in any of these, please click the links or call the church office.

Adult Bible Study – On Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings and also other groups meet in cycles of 10 – 16 weeks with their schedules varying from season to season.
United Women in Faith
Men’s Night Out
M&M’s – These are the Merry Methodists and they plan a fun group outing every month of the year. From game nights, to mini golf or attending plays they always cook up something fun! The M&M’s are open to all!
Our Music programs offer many ways for adults to get to know one another
Our Missions group is a great place for people of all ages to gather and do good together
Our Food Pantry Patrol works together to serve the community and lessen the hardships of food insecurity in the Clio area.
On Thursdays at 5pm, many gather in service and fellowship to maintain the grounds, building, and parsonage. They laugh and joke as they mow, weed, plant, and prune. If you have gifts in those areas show up on a Thursday at 5pm and meet like minded adults.
We love to eat! Many of our adults gather on Wednesday evenings to prepare the family meal at Wednesday Night Live and on Sunday mornings to prepare breakfast. If you enjoy helping in the kitchen, many hands make light work and we enjoy fellowship with one another from preparing the meal, to enjoying dinner with our church family and cleanup.

Throughout the year there are many special activities and outings for adults and families alike. Don’t let the kids have all the fun! Come and See all the ways that God is working through the adults of Bethany UMC.

If you want more information on any of these fellowship opportunities, please reach out to the church office.
