Purpose: The purpose of the United Methodist Men of NRUMC (in brief, NRUMM) is to grow spiritually; develop as Christian leaders in home, church, and everyday life; engage in activities which support NRUMC, the N.C. Conference and national and international programs; perform service activities on the church building and grounds; enjoy the fellowship of all UMM in regular meetings.

Meetings: The NRUMM meet on the second Saturday of each month in the Fellowship Hall, from 8:30 am to 10:00 am. House projects may occur from time to time, but without replacing the regular meeting. Each meeting consists of an opening of up to 1/2 hour before 8:30 with coffee and sweet rolls, prayer, a brief devotion, a program, using outsiders when possible (varied to include such as financial consultants, talks of travels, missionaries).

Membership: All men who are age 18 or over and who are members of NRUMC are members of NRUMM. There are no exclusions.

Activities:

• Help with grounds keeping and light projects in church buildings.
• Fund raising: principal projects are the barbecue dinners each Spring and Fall. Virtually all income from any project is devoted to missions;
• Dineamate or Attractions discount books.
• Annual Sweetheart Banquet in February
• Sunrise breakfast each Easter morning
• ARK Shelter - coordinate monthly dinners provided by other sections of NRUMC, such as the
