Local church men’s fellowships
can keep making a difference

By George Hohmann

Your local church men’s fellowship can remain active and keep making a difference in people’s lives — safely, even during pandemic uncertainties.

There are many opportunities! I would like to highlight two of them in this issue of the Journal.

Please pray about what will work for your local church men’s fellowship, then follow up. Contact the person listed, visit the organization’s website, or contact an officer of the West Virginia United Methodist Men to learn more.
Is your local men’s group involved in a project that is making a difference in people’s lives? Please share it! E-mail g.hohmann48@gmail.com

Check out Portico!

Have you visited Portico lately? Portico is the conference’s new online learning platform. You can find it by visiting the conference website (wvumc.org) and clicking on the word “Portico” at the top of the page. Once you register, you will have your own personal learning page with access to over 50 courses.


Check out Portico!In Ephesians 4:12 we read about the importance of equipping people for the work of ministry in order to build up the body of Christ, the local church. These online learning courses are one way we can all strengthen ourselves and those in our congregations.

Most of the courses are about 20-minutes in length, and can be taken on your schedule. You also have the ability to start and stop the courses as needed. More courses are added to the platform each month, so check back often.
