United Methodist Men

9 am, the first Saturday of the month 

What sets the Mountain Home United Methodist Men’s Group apart is that when we meet over breakfast our meals are actually pretty good. We have far more than stale donuts and coffee! It may not seem particularly profound, but we believe that good food helps along good conversation! We also meet from time to time at a pub in Sherwood - just another way we reach out to other men in our area who are looking for friendship and faith.

Men’s Group projects help those in need.   

Summer Reading Group

Summer evenings find our Reading Group gathered on the lawn at the church, engaging in meaningful book discussions, and appreciating each other’s company. The specular view makes our time together all the more enjoyable.

Recent books we’ve read include Barefoot from the Sensible Shoes series by Sharon Galrough Brown and Signs of Hope by Amy Wollf. Anyone is welcome to participate.

Music and Song

Mountain Home is a congregation that really does love to sing. We are blessed to have a talented organist and a choir that, although small, brings contagious energy to our worship experience.

Perhaps this overheard conversation says it all:

“How did your friend like her first Sunday at Mountain Home?”

“She loved it so much she has already joined the choir!”

Congregational Care Team

Our Congregational Care Team provides support and encouragement to those in our congregation who cannot easily leave their homes, are experiencing physical or life event challenges, or just need a listening ear. With the goal of taking care of “one another”, the team sends notes and cards, connects through phone calls and visits, and often provides other help as needed.

Reconciling Committee

Our Reconciling Committee helps ensure Mountain Home is a place for all of God’s children - that we are not only a welcoming congregation, but an affirming and fully inclusive one as well. The group advocates for the rights of our LGBTQ+ siblings and provides support for organizations such as the Trevor Project. 

Holiday Bazaar Committee

Preparation for our annual Holiday Bazaar is truly a year-long process. Busy hands crochet, paint, knit, assemble, build, create, and craft beautiful handmade items. Committee members excitedly share ideas they’ve found on Pinterest and meet to plan how to make this year’s bazaar the “best ever”. In the end nearly everyone in the congregation finds a way to be involved. We donate the proceeds from our bazaar to a number of local charities.
