The Wesley UMM is primarily a Christian Ministry to the men of the Church (members and non-members alike). The group provides manpower, financial and logistical support to the summertime annual Peach Festival, the annual Celebration Sunday in the Fall and traditionally the Easter Pancake Breakfast Easter morning. In addition, the UMM are the primary source of manpower for spring and fall clean-up around the church, although this event is co-supported by the women of the Church.
The United Methodist Men meet on the first Saturday of
each month at 0800 hours
in the Wesley Fellowship Hall. (except during
July, August)

Thank you to Pastor Janet who approached the Men about two very worthy and important outreach projects that we will be helping with: 1) Honduras shoe ministry - We will be collecting shoes to be given to people in Honduras. These new to slightly used shoes will be collected and then taken to Rev. Glen Evans ministry, Art for Humanity, in the Arlington District. 2) In March a group of students from James Madison Univ. in Harrisonburg will be coming to be in mission at Rising Hope. Pastor Janet has asked if Wesley UMC will allow these missionaries to stay in our Fellowship Hall. The UMM have agreed to help in providing some cots to be used while staying with us.

The Book of Discipline, The United Methodist Church
United Methodist Men shall be a creative, supportive fellowship of men 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.
The major concerns are:
To encourage knowledge of and support for the total mission of The United Methodist Church.
To engage in evangelism by sharing the fullness of the gospel in its personal and social dimensions.
To clarify and speak to the identity and role of the man in contemporary society. To seek commitment to discipleship
.To study and become familiar with The United Methodist Church, its organization, doctrines, and beliefs.
To cooperate with all units of United Methodist Men in obtaining these objectives through district, conference, jurisdiction, and church-wide goals.
Men seeking membership in a local United Methodist Men's Fellowship shall subscribe to the "Purpose" of United Methodist Men and to these personal objectives:
Engage daily in Bible study and prayer.Bear witness to Christ's way in daily work and in all personal contacts through words and actions.Engage in some definite Christian service.
