The Purpose of United Methodist Men
The Servant Leader Model
The General Commission on United Methodist Men shall have
primary oversight for the coordination and resourcing of men’s
ministry within The United Methodist Church.

Christ in every man’s life. Men’s ministry leads to the
spiritual growth of men and effective discipleship. This
purpose is served as men are called to model the servant
leadership of Jesus Christ.

Special Notes
Meetings
At the UMM’s breakfast on Saturday, June 6, Tony & Mary
Leone spoke about their recent trip to an orphanage in
India. Slides and videos of this trip showed a very poor
country where kids are found roaming the streets looking for
food. Their parents had disappeared. This was in stark
contrast to their trip to the Russian orphanage a few years
ago where they took children to McDonalds. They would eat
half of their meal and save the other half of it for later
as if they would not get another meal. The kids in Indian
were in a Christian orphanage as opposed to the state run
facility in Russia.
For our meeting in August, I have tentatively scheduled
the Chief Information Officer of Texas Health Resources to
speak. What is Texas Health Resources? That is the merger of
Harris Methodist, Presbyterian and Arlington Memorial
Hospitals. This gentleman is a very smart Christian and I
think you will find him very interesting. We will have no
meeting in July as the first Saturday in the month is the
4th of July holiday.
The Methodist Men are cooking breakfast themselves so we
are able to provide a better and more plentiful meal at the
same price. Our cooks are getting good; we are working hard
to get it out of the oven piping hot!
Outreach
In you know of someone in our church that might need help
such as home repairs, work around the house and they are
unable to do it for themselves, contact me and the Methodist
Men will try and put together a group to help. I am not sure
we can take care of all the requests, but we will see what
we can do. Hope to see you at our next breakfast – Saturday,
August 1 .
July 6, 2009 - The Methodist Men have found someone in
the church that needs help. Danny Elms and Pete McNabb
stopped by to determine the needs and found there are
improvements to this person’s home that will need to be made
to meet the City Code. It was estimated it would cost
between $600 - $755 for materials. The Methodist Men will
put together a group to do the labor. If you can help,
please donate what you can to the Methodist Men. Contact
Barbara Canafax in the church office; she will handle it
from there. Your donations will be greatly appreciated.
