Bethlehem offers a variety of fellowship opportunities. These are groups where you can get to know others and enjoy the benefits of community lived out in Christ. 

WEB Ministry - Women Energizing Bethlehem
This women’s ministry consists of women of all ages. We are a friendly group of energetic, inclusive, caring and kind women who meet once a month, right after Sunday worship service.(Usually the first Sunday of each month in the Fellowship Hall.)  We share a salad lunch beginning with a short devotional.

The WEB ministry:

• Is a service-oriented group that has service projects which benefit others, especially women in need.
• Supports one another and the members of our Bethlehem community by building relationships of caring and compassion.
• Coordinates a Bible Study. (In the fall and winter)   
• Believes the Scottish proverb -“Many hands make light work.”

Eosin Fellowship Group
Fellowship, fun, fundraising, service to our church and community, and food are the components of the Eosin social group. There is a 6:00 PM gathering on the 2nd Sunday of each month at the church for a potluck dinner. After the dinner, the group plans future events that are designed for community involvement, such as collecting items for the EVSC Clothing Bank, serving suppers at United Caring Shelters, service projects as needs arise, and organizing the Ice Cream Social to support Habitat for Humanity. Our fundraising events include: apple pie making in November, and the church-wide Cookie Walk in December. As a group, Eosin provides bereavement dinners and receptions for weddings and anniversaries for our church families. We are mostly adults in our 60's and 70's, and have been together for many years; however, our group is open and welcomes new members and friends of the church.

Y2K
We gather with our families monthly on Sunday evenings to have potluck dinners in Fellowship Hall or at members’ homes.  We sponsor the annual Easter Egg Hunt and adopt a needy family at Christmas.  Most of our group is in their 30's and 40's, and we have children aged toddlers through teens. Children are welcomed at the monthly gatherings and have a fun time with the other kids!

The Motley Crew
Motley Crew is a group of young adults whose fellowship time centers around various activities in our community.  The group is made up of singles, couples, and families - primarily in our 20's and 30's.  We participate in both fellowship and service-based activities, alternating between family-friendly activities (such as picnics, bowling, game night, etc.) and "adult" activities (going out to dinner/movie, mission trips, participating in community service projects through Habitat for Humanity or United Caring Shelters, etc.).

ROMEO Group

What is the Bethlehem R.O.M.E.O. Club? It is Retired Old Men Eating Out (just men gathering) every Tuesday for food, fellowship, and faith. ROMEO Club is open to anyone no matter your age!  If you would like to join the group for lunch, please RSVP to Barry Jones at by Monday morning. New faces are always welcomed!

U10 Small Group
Are you new (-ish) to Bethlehem?  There’s a new small group starting just for you!  This group is for people who have been a part (whether you’re a member or not!) of Bethlehem for fewer than ten years.  Come meet others who also scratch their heads when the long-timers casually reference “the burgoo building.”  You are a vital part of our church, and we want to make sure you have a place just for you!  If you have any questions, reach out to Pastor Emily (emily@bethlehemucc.org, 812-459-1270).

Youth Group
Our youth group is a fellowship and service group for Middle and Senior High youth (grades 7-12) that builds upon the spiritual development of Sunday School.  This busy group of youth outside the church gather to prepare and serve meals at United Caring Services and participate in occasional activities that include game or movie nights in the youth room, bowling, skating, and rock climbing.  If you are a young person interested in joining our group to make new friendships (or strengthen existing ones), events are listed on our website, social media, in the weekly church emails, and in our monthly newsletter, the STAR.  We invite you to join us!

Didn't see one that interested you?  Let us know!
We are always willing to help you form a new group!

Other Community-Wide Fellowship Opportunities

BBQ Dinner, Ice Cream Social, and Silent Auction - The Eosin group sponsors this fun summertime event each year during the summer.  Burgers, hot dogs, "cookout sides," and of course ICE CREAM (both store-bought and homemade) are served in our Fellowship Hall.  This event raises money for Habitat for Humanity and is highly anticipated each year!

Rally Day - We celebrate the end of summer each year and the beginning of the Sunday School year with a meal together.  After worship, we gather outdoors for a meal.  Activities are planned for all ages, and we invite the community to join in the fun with us!

Pi(e) Lunch - Following Sunday worship before March 14, we will gather in the fellowship hall for great fun, food, and fellowship. This is an all-church free event and free-will offerings are graciously accepted.  

Annual Fish Fry Carry Out - Each year, Bethlehem hosts a Fish Fry.  This is a great community event that has not only great food, but the proceeds are donated to help alleviate hunger in our community and around the world!  Families of Bethlehem and the community have begun to make this event a tradition as we serve hundreds of people in a few short hours.
