united methodist men

The purpose of the United Methodist Men is to engage in a variety of Christ-centered activities for the benefit of the ministries, programs, and activities of the church and its members. Since its formation in 1948, our men's organization strives to create opportunities for men of the church to be in service to Christ and to the community. 


We count all male members and friends among the UMM! There are no dues or fees to join.


We currently have a ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out) lunch about once a month. Past UMM outings have included trips to play mini-golf and to watch Washington Nationals baseball games. Although Covid-19 created a significant disruption in our fellowship and service activities, we are now able to enjoy cookouts, potlucks, informational programs, or other activities as our members desire.

 

St. Paul's UMM also has a tradition of donating financial support and volunteer time to many groups and projects including:

Boy Scout Troop #439, Venture Crew, and Cub Scout Pack #478

Church Van Operations

St. Paul's Library

The Educational Award Fund

St. Paul's Hunger Ministry

St. Paul's Youth Travel and Mission Projects

Baltimore-Washington Conference UMC Camping & Retreat Ministries, including West River Center

Red Bird Mission in rural Kentucky

UMCOR

The NIH Children's Inn

Children's National Medical Center

 

The United Methodist Men raise funds through events such as the Apple Sale and Pancake Breakfasts! Our event volunteers include men, women, children, and families. Come be with us!

Community Pancake Breakfast - We're Back!

After a considerable break during the height of the covid pandemic, the UMM is again holding Pancake Breakfast events in the fellowship hall on the first Saturday of the month, September through June. Please read more on our Pancake Breakfast page!


Although the UMM sponsors these events, proceeds benefit St. Paul's and regional charities. These events are possible because of our volunteers! There are plenty of spots for all men, women, youth, and even families. Please contact Jerry Watkins directly for more information!

Fall 2023 - No Yard Sale

The UMM regrets to announce that we will not be holding a Yard Sale in the fall of 2023.


We know that the twice-a-year indoor yard sale was a highlight for many bargain-hunters, and we were happy that our yard sale helped keep countless household items out of landfills, and provided affordable goods for everyone in our community.


Although we've returned to many of our activities in this post-covid-pandemic era, we do not presently have the personnel to run the Yard Sale. 


No decision has been made yet about the possibility of returning with a sale in 2024.
