While not being a "ministry," as such, we do want you to know that our building has adequate heating & AC, has ample parking, with a newer smaller lot in the back of the building.  We have recently installed a power chair up the side steps & have a ramp at the back door, so one can get into our auditorium easily, without having to navigate any steps at all.

We use powerpoint and a projector on to a large screen to enhance our worship.  One of our elders plays a guitar on stage Sunday mornings to accompany the keyboard.  We use a blend of hymns and choruses and in fact the 4th Sunday each month is "chorus Sunday" where we use choruses only.

We have a breakfast fellowship (donuts/bagels/toast/coffee cake/coffee/juice/milk) each Sunday morning at 9am.  We have Sunday School at 9:30 with 8 classes for all ages.  We have 3 Junior Church classes each Sunday morning during our AM Worship.  We have Sunday evening worship at 6pm, with our Teens meeting at the home of one of our elders.  We also have our childrens program, SNK's (Sunday Night Kids), meeting then also. 

Our ladies meet on the first Tuesday night of each month at 7pm, for a time of devotion, fellowship, food & missions projects.  They are a crucial part of our missions support in our congregation.  These ladies: (1) collect paper products for the Christian Childrens Home of Ohio every February, (2) raise money for our church camp's talent dollar offering every fall, (3) pack Shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child every October/November, (4) collect Campbell's labels for the Mountain Mission School in Grundy, VA, (5) provide bereavement dinners for funerals within our church family, (6) oversee our Church Library & Cradle Roll, (7)  provide fruit/cookie platters for our shut-ins at Christmas time (8) co-ordinate the collection & disbursement of our annual Easter 30 Pieces of Silver missions offering, (9) support several missionaries on their own above and beyond those that we support as a congregation.

We appreciate these faithful ladies & encourage other women of the church to join with them!

We have literally thousands of titles of books, videos, CDs and DVD's on a multitude of topics!  There's plenty for the children, for men & woman, boys and girls.  There're adventures, Christian fiction, basic Bible stories, topical books (family, finances, spiritual growth).

We appreciate Ruth for her years of service & now Ladonna and Jeanette are keeping it all running smoothly.  The Samaritan Missionary LAdies have put much time, money & LOVE into this wonderful program!

Project Manna is the food pantry minitry of the Union Local School District.  They are housed at the Bethesda United Methodist Church.  Food staples are given out on the 2nd & 4th Fridays monthly, Feb-Nov.  A large Christmas distribution is the highlight of the year.  Much more food and gifts and clothing as well are given out to those who sign up.  No government money is involved at all, this is all done through the generosity of community churches, businesses, and individuals.

Recipientsmust live in or attend church in the ULSD and are only allowed every 60 days.  Also, there are many other helps available--various listings of Belmont County agencies that can assist with help for utilities, childrens needs, abuse situations, veterans needs, etc, etc., as well as employment agencies information.  Candy Lendon heads this up & Leisa Copley is our Sec/Treas.
