The
United Methodist Men of Panther Springs United Methodist Church meets normally
on the third Saturday morning of each month at 7:30 AM for breakfast and a
business meeting. Bruce Quilliams
is President, Tom Long is Vice President, Jim Wilder is Secretary, and Chuck
Orndoff is Treasurer. This
is a revitalized, energetic group of gentlemen who work so hard in the
background, doing God's work in our Church family.
The
mission statement of the United Methodist Men at Panther Springs United
Methodist Church is: “To do God's
work through fellowship and charitable community deeds.”
There are currently 36 active members.
Annual
Activities by the United Methodist Men:
Their
“Big Country Breakfasts,” two times each year;
Annual
“Camp for Kids” Golf Tournament;
Prayer
Pager Ministry
(The
club began this ministry a few years ago and it seems to have been widely
received. The pagers are provided
to anyone who has a serious illness or a period of grief or any other need for
prayer. The folks who have used the
pagers extol the virtues and attest to the fact that “knowing someone is
praying for you is very comforting.”)
United Methodist Women
The
United Methodist Women is an organized unit of women from all walks of life.
There are two circles of the UMW to accommodate practically anyone's
schedule that would like to attend. The
two circles have ongoing mission projects such as MATS (Ministerial Association
Temporary Shelter), CEASE (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Shelter), The
Daily Bread, and Baskets of Snacks for people in the ICU waiting area at
Jefferson Memorial Hospital. Each
year the UMW focuses on one particular verse from the Bible.
Circle
I meets at 9:00 AM on the first Wednesday of each month in the Fellowship Hall.
Circle
II meets at 7:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month in the Fellowship Hall.
