Apportionments - With UMC we are connected to so many Global Ministries

 

Where does the Bethany Apportionment go?  Part of our funds goes to the Global Ministries.  And there has never been a greater need for us to be a part of United Methodist connectional missions.  In such a time as this with natural and human-made disasters. a pandemic loneliness sadness strife and uncertainty.   UMC bring healing, missions and Bethany's Spirit into the world.  

The message that Bethany is already independent does not accurately
describe how connected we are to all United Methodist acting in the world!

Please take time to get informed and watch the video below.   Our apportionment feeds the needs of so many.  The "independence" message  and the "zero apportionment" messages are really about stepping back from our connections and Wesleyan call to serve - to be in mission in the world.
