Life is a School of Love...

 Welcome to Bethany United Methodist Church,
where love makes the difference.
“…God is love.” 1 John 4:8
 
What Bethany knows about God is that God is love. 
And even more, God is a community of love.
Bethany is part of God’s community of love and we welcome you to share in God’s love, here with us on James Island.
God didn’t give us His love to keep - but to give away. 
Finding new and creative ways to share God’s love is the spiritual adventure we are on.  Come with us!
 
Life isn’t perfect, we aren’t perfect, but we are learning to love like Jesus loves, sacrificially.
Because life gets complicated, we keep our time together and worship simple.
As the Apostle Paul recommended to the Romans, (12:9,10),
we…“Love sincerely. Hate evil. Hold on to what is good.  Be devoted to each other like a loving family.”
 
None of us were meant to journey through life alone. 
Come find strength for your journey, 
among the spiritual community of Bethany UMC,
​where love makes the difference.

Pastor's Pen
By recommendation of Bishop Holston, our South Carolina United Methodist Church Bishop, and government and CDC authorities, we are closed for the month of April.

As soon as we are allowed to return to worship and fellowship, WE WILL, and we will let you know so that we can celebrate together!

In the meantime, please encourage others to visit our church online at www.bethanyji.org to listen to sermons, read articles, give, and get the latest information.

This Sunday's worship is provided online.  The sanctuary will be opened this Sunday from 10:00am to 11:00am for solitary prayers and offerings.  Please continue to worship God through tithes and offerings.  However, please consider giving online or by mail. 

Bethany's monthly expenses are over $14000.00 and the bills don't stop for Covid-19.  We have had to make some financial adjustments.  Please be faithful to keep Bethany healthy until we are able to return.
  
If you have any needs, please reach out through the church office and leave a message (843-795-3527).  Both the church phone number and email have been forwarded to Pastor Cindy.

And keep in your prayers all leaders making tough decisions, medical professionals treating those with the virus, those suffering the virus, and our own members who have recently suffered medical crisis.  
​
Let’s remain united in prayer and trusting in our Lord.


​I'll see you in the Sanctuary.
Peace of Christ,
Cindy
