Sweetheart Dinner and Movie on Friday, 15 February 2013 at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas was sponsored by the United Methodist Men. About 25 to 30 couples participated by sharing a variety of Italian themed food items. Pellegrino® sparkling mineral water mixed with flavored syrups and crushed ice was the main beverage. Coffee was also served. Foods included sliced red and green apples, carrots, celery with caramel and ranch dips; cantaloupe; five cheeses; dip and chips; salads; lasagna; spaghetti, and breads. Deserts included fresh strawberries with whipped cream, carrot cake, chocolate cake, fruit pies, and cobblers. Festival Hall was quickly rearranged from round dining tables to two rows of sofas for the movie. We enjoyed watching the movie “Midnight in Paris” written and directed by Woody Allen. This was a pleasant evening of conversation, dining, and entertainment.

This is the second year that I have helped the United Methodist Men serve this dinner. We have a good time planning, setting up, serving, eating together, and cleaning up for this dinner. This year most of us took leftover spaghetti home. Last year we served 300 people. I don’t know why the participation was lower this year. I attended the regularly scheduled United Methodist Men meeting at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas Saturday morning, 10 November 2012.

Wesley-Rankin Community Center website http://wesleyrankin.org/wp/ and Facebook timeline https://www.facebook.com/WesleyRankinCommunityCenter The United Methodist Men of St. Andrew United Methodist Church met on Saturday, 08 September 2012. We enjoyed breakfast that included a tasty casserole made by Marla Womack (the wife of a member) bagels, spreads for the bagels, and coffee. Jim Womack called the meeting to order and began the meeting with a prayer. Plans for the 12th Annual Messenger of Hope St. Andrew United Methodist Church Golf Tournament were finalized. The tournament will occur on Friday 05 October 2012 at The Old American Golf Course, 1001 Lebanon Road, The Colony, Texas 75056. Pamphlets that provide detailed information about the tournament were provided to members for distribution to potential supporters and /or participants. Registration entries can be completed on the next four Sundays. Members signed up to promote the tournament on the next four Sundays. Members agreed to staff the registration table at the golf tournament. This golf tournament raises funds for the Messenger of Hope Scholarships. Ron Weaver led a devotional based on the book Fearless by Max Lucado, Chapter 1 – Why Are We Afraid? We watched a video about this chapter and discussed related questions. It was stated that this lesson should help identify how to overcome fears and identify when fear is a protection. Good fears stop us from doing something that would cause harm. Jim Womack closed the meeting with a prayer. Following the UMM meeting, three members helped Ron Weaver disassemble a six crib piece of furniture that no longer meets code. This piece of furniture is going to a church in Laredo, Mexico. 
Nine United Methodist Men of St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas met for a brief business meeting before serving lunch to volunteers at a Habitat for Humanity® of South Collin County, Texas build site. A small group of men purchased food items at Costco and carried them to the build site. Two tables were borrowed from St. Andrew United Methodist Church and used to serve lunch in Avenue E in Plano, Texas. These tables were returned to the church immediately after lunch was over. Construction was in progress on two houses. One house is at 621 11th Street, Plano, Texas. The other house is at 725 11th Street, Plano, Texas. These houses are located in the Douglas Community of Plano, Texas. Ten houses are scheduled to be build at this location. Habitat for Humanity® - Crew Chief - Stu Dunkle was on this build site on Saturday, 14 July 2012. Photographs of this build site follow this article. The house at 621 11th Street was sold for $80,000. However, this house is worth $120,000. The volunteer labor makes a significant difference in the sell price of the house. The house at 725 11th Street is three weeks ahead of schedule. Drywall was being installed on Saturday, 14 July 2012. Two tents were setup in Avenue E where registration was recorded, refreshments were provided, and lunch was served. This is a very short street that dead ends at a brick fence. The parking lot for a Home Depot is on the other side of this fence. Lunch included: sandwiches (turkey and Swiss cheese and roast beef and cheese), oranges, watermelon, bananas, chips, cookies, and choice of beverage (including: water, Coke, Sprite, Diet A&W Root Beer, and Diet Dr. Pepper). United Methodist Men of St. Andrew United Methodist Church met on Saturday, 12 May 2012. Eight were present at this meeting. Reasons for the small turnout are unknown. Topics discussed included:
