Ladies, join us as we connect together!!
As the Women of Bethany, our goal is to connect in authentic relationships so that we can encourage and challenge each other to glorify God and see our lives, and the lives of others, transformed into Jesus followers. We will do that through big events and small gatherings where women can connect and share their lives together. Save the dates for these.
