BECOMER’S CIRCLE

If you are new to our congregation you may not be familiar with the Becomer’s Circle.  We are always excited to welcome new members and hope that you will consider joining us.

We are a women’s organization of the Carthage United Methodist Church that has been gathering since 1986.  We meet Bi-Monthly, on the 4th Thursdays of October, February, April, June and August at 7:00 PM in the Gathering Room of the Christian Life Center.

At each meeting, we have a devotional time followed by a business meeting to complete plans for our current project, and attempt to meet any needs that have arisen since our last meeting.  The meeting always closes with a circle of prayer.  The bonds of friendship and fellowship are a very important part of our group.

We are a very service-oriented part of the church and organize a variety of projects during the year to benefit our congregation, our community and people throughout the world.

Watch the bulletins, website and church newsletters for more specific information on our current projects.  Also, please feel free to offer comments or suggestions for other ministries by contacting our 2009-2010 co-presidents, Sarah Tinsley and Nancy Pettross.  

We are looking forward to another wonderful year of service, fellowship, and fun.

Please join us!

Your fellow workers for Christ,

The Becomers

“If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.  If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”  1 Peter 4:11
