Looking ahead 4 years at 11th National UMM Conferencer   

The Annapolis District United Methodist Men invite all churches to  start now and support three UMM disciples for the National Conference in 2013.    Send forth an adult man, a young adutl man and youth from your church to attend the conference. Pay for their entire expense - estimated cost including transporation, food and lodging only $1.50 per day for the next four years.  What an investment in to the future of your church to bring men together to share their discipleship experiences  and walk away wiht renewed energy to carry out the great commission. 

If you believe that we need to bring men back to the church family, back as fathers giving Godly leadership to the family, please prayerfully consider supporting this endevour.   Let God take control of our lives and let us march to the year 2013 with  216 men  strong to Nashville.
