To study and become familiar with the United Methodist Church, its organization, and its doctrines. To promote personal evangelism, especially among men and boys. To develop Christian fellowship in the church, especially among laymen, by promoting Christian understanding. To co-operate with the Bishop, District Superintendent and Pastor on promoting the programs of the church. To co-operate with other units of the United Methodist Men in the promotion of the District Conference and church wide projects under the leadership of the General Board of Lay Leadership.

In the past year we have taken Noah, our Church Bus, and gone to dinner at Friendly Farms Restaurant, Gateway Restaurant, in Frederick, and Harrison’s Restaurant on Tilghman’s Island.
We have also taken trips to Old Salty Restaurant, and The War Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The United Methodist Men also help with the Church Cookout and Service By The Sea at the Maryland Yacht Club, Pasadena, Maryland, by getting there early and setting up and starting the grills and cooking the hotdogs and hamburgers. At the Spring Bazaar the men can be found preparing lunch.
We invite you to join us in fellowship every second Saturday of the month for our Prayer Breakfast in the social hall.
