Martha Circle
Christian Women in Action

Martha Circle will meet Thursday, November 13 from 11:45–1:00 at the Bethlehem Center. We will make Thanksgiving baskets for UCC families. If you'd like to participate, each basket should include: 2 cans corn, 2 cans green beans, 2 cans yams, 1 can cranberry sauce, 2 cans fruit, 2, 6oz. pkgs stuffing, 1 box tea bags, 1 can pie filling, 1 box pie crust mix and, if possible, a donation for $10 for purchase of a voucher for meat. Janna is bringing lunch!
We will also sign up to sponsor Angel Tree kids. Please consider enlisting a friend, coworker or neighbor to sponsor a child as well and join us at our December meeting. This year's economic crisis will hit the low-income homes more than anyone, and this is a great way to share our Martha Circle with other people. Looking ahead, we will have our "gift wrapping" party for our Angel Tree kids at our December meeting on December 11. I will bring lunch, and there will be plenty for your recruited angels to join us!

Martha Circle gathers for lunch-hour meetings the second Thursday of each month* from 11:45 - 1:00 PM at the Bethlehem United Community Center near downtown Fort Worth. Download directions

Do you find time to nurture your own faith? To foster friendships with other Christian women? Are you overbooked? Are you a multi-tasker with a full calendar? A career woman? A busy mom?

The Bible depicts Martha as very diligent and hard working, offering generous hospitality. When Jesus reminded her to focus on the reason for her preparations, she made time to worship and serve with other women. In the Martha Circle, you can nurture and cultivate your Christian growth in service, not simply add to your "to do" list.

Martha Circle...
● is very busy -- some work, some have children, some volunteer -- we all "do it all"
● supports friendships with our Martha sisters
● enjoys service projects for the Bethlehem Center and other local and global missions
● strives to make a tangible impact on the world around us
● appreciates the practical application of scriptures to our modern lives

These focus areas are in keeping with the UMW's Purpose of being a creative and supportive fellowship of women whose purpose is to know God and expand the concepts of global missions (paraphrased).

Each month, Martha Circle accomplishes a hands on project to help the Bethlehem United Community Center thrive while enjoying lunch (brought by members on a rotating basis), and a devotional or program (planned by members on a rotating basis).

All Christian ladies are welcome. Currently, Martha Circle enjoys membership from four different area Methodist churches. If you work downtown, live downtown, or would just like to get right into the middle of some folks who need your helping hands, please come!
