Arlene Stokes UMW Circle

Arlene Stokes is a circle in the Bethlehem UMW Unit. It was formed in 1961; named in honor of Arlene Stokes, wife of Rev. Charles Stokes, who pastored Bethlehem in 1944-1945, later returning to Korea to assume their missionary work. This group of ladies continues Arlene Stokes’ missionary vision by participating in UMCOR projects such as Health and School Kits, Room at the Inn, School Back Pak Pals, Project AGAPE Christmas Shoeboxes, UMW Reading Program, and correspondence with a list of retired missionaries.
