On Dec. 14, Bishop Robert Hayes Jr. installed the officers of the United Methodist Men at Stillwater-First UMC.

Each Friday, 35 to 50 men meet for breakfast, a devotion, and Communion. Several are members of other churches in Stillwater and Payne County. About 60 attended when Bishop Hayes led the induction ceremony and presented his inspiring, challenging message, reported UMMen Secretary Floyd Hawk.

"These men carry out their faith by volunteering at the Thursday Night Community meal at the church’s Family Life Center and helping with food distribution at the Storehouse on 2700 S. Husband St.," Hawk said. "They also send teams to work at church camps several times per year."
