United Methodist Men |
The Anaheim United
Methodist Men's group is a creative, supportive fellowship of men who seek to
know Jesus Christ, to grow spiritually, to seek daily his will and whose
primary purpose is to bring Jesus Christ into the lives of men. Monthly
dinner meetings feature notable speakers; a delicious home cooked meal;
the awarding of several nice door prizes; fun and good fellowship.
Meetings are usually held monthly, with hors d'oeuvres, dinner and a
special program. Only $8.00!
Our next meeting:
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Speaker: Matthew DuPuy
Last March, Matt was part of a team of seven young men who participated in an annual 150 mile relay race from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. After the race, the bunch of them toured through Jordan and Lebanon. They visited the temple at Petra, the tombs of Palmyra, a Palestinian Refugee camp and parts of Beirut.
After that, Matt and Jon toured Syria. From Syria, they traveled to Turkey and then to northern Iraq. Matt and Jon travelled to some remote villages in northern Iraq. One of their hosts was a Kurdish army officer who drove them up to an outpost on the lower slopes of Cheekha Dar, part of the Zagros mountain range. Cheekha Dar is the highest mountain in Iraq at 11,847 feet. Matt and Jonathan climbed up through rock and snow fields to the summit of Cheekha Dar. They were cited this year as becoming the first westerners to summit the mountain in the winter time.
Matt will be showing pictures of this March 2011 trip to the Middle East.
The monthly UMM dinner festivities begin at 6:30 with snacks and fellowship. Dinner is served at 7:00, with the program immediately following. Cost of the dinner is only $8.00 per person. You may reserve a seat by calling the church office, or see Mike McCune on the patio on Sundays.

United Methodist Men's Lazy W Retreat The
Lazy W Retreat is held on a weekend in March each year at beautiful Camp Lazy W which is off the Ortega Highway some 10 miles east of San
Juan Capistrano. Each retreat has a Christian based theme that is
interwoven throughout the weekend in presentations, Bible study, hymn
singing and the Sunday Morning Worship Service. The event also features a
work project designed to be helpful to the camp manager, delicious home
cooked food and free time activities such as hiking, horseshoes and
ping pong.
