We Serve

 During summer and fall we are invited to participate in the Society of St. Andrew’s Gleaning Network.  Volunteers go to local orchards and farms to pick fruit and vegetables that would otherwise not be used.  The food is taken to Lord Fairfax Food Bank for distribution.

United Methodist Men  (UMM)

The United Methodist Men is an organization of the United Methodist Church comprised of men who are committed to Jesus Christ and His works.  We strive for a closer relationship with Him so that we may reflect His purpose in our lives.  To be a member of the UMM, you do not have to be a member of the Methodist church, but must only possess a desire to help others and grow in the Christian faith.  We meet every third Sunday of the month at 7:45 am for breakfast and fellowship.  We organize and plan our fund-raisers, primarily the Ham/Oyster dinners.  The proceeds provide support for some of our church's needs as well as helping to support the Heart Havens Project.  Mike Michael is the UM Men's President.  We welcome all newcomers.
