Men's Ministries - UMM (United Methodist Men) 7:30 am First Saturday of the month.

Women In Christ of Paul Horton UMC  meet at 9:00 AM on the second Saturday of each month, September through May. The past year was filled with fellowship within Paul Horton United Methodist Church and also with other churches of the community.  Special efforts to plan fund raisers to benefit our new Fellowship Hall have been well received and our Annual Spaghetti Supper and Silent Auction is looked forward to by all. Our women do an excellent job of mailing Prayer Grams to the sick and needy from the Women in Christ and keep track of the Prayer Blankets.  We have signs and several containers full of items for our “rained out” chili cook off which will be fun to host in the coming months. (If it ever cools off!). See you, September 10th, 9:00 AM for the Women in Christ meeting and be a part of coming events and side trip planning. Wonderful blessings behold our church, our members, and each other in the Christian Family of Paul Horton UMC.
