The Reidville Road United Methodist Men  are an active group participating in several ministries within our church, our community, and beyond! Chartered in 2007, the UMM have held fundraisers highlighted by a Chili Cookoff in January which raised funds used to support the Kairos prison ministry, purchase building materials for wheelchair ramps for dialysis patients, and contribute to the Kevin Carper Memorial Fund.   

 

A summer golf tourney is planned for June 2009, and the men are hoping to host a pumpkin patch in the fall!  The men have also have worked at the soup kitchen and are active in helping maintain the church grounds with mowing teams during the summer months, and are available to help others in need with yard work, handy man jobs, etc.   In addition, funds are being raised for the Nothing but Nets organization, a group that provides mosquito netting for malaria prevention in needy African communities.

 

Our Men meet monthly at 8AM for breakfast meeting before Sunday School.  Contact the church office for more information!

 United Methodist Men shall be a creative, supportive fellowship who seek to know Jesus Christ,

to grow spiritually and to seek daily his will.                                                                                                          
                                                                           
 Our primary purpose is to declare the centrality of Christ in the lives of men and in all their relationships.
