Welcome to
November 8, 2009
I kneel before the Father ... I pray that out of his glorious riches, he
may strengthen you with power through his Spirit... so that Christ may dwell in
your hearts through faith ...and that you may have power to grasp how wide and
long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that
surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness
of God. Ephesians 3: 14-19

An Invitation to All Men
The ministerial have been discussing the importance of
encouraging the men in our congregation to be faithful disciples of
Christ. The culture around us has
painted a number of different pictures of men.
One picture is that of a man who is financially successful. He is a workaholic and buys his family
everything they want but is bankrupt when he enters the doors of his
house. This man has poor relationships
with his wife and children. At very
best, he encourages his family to go to church without him as he gets caught up
on work or watches sports on T.V.
Another picture painted by our culture is that men are
irresponsible. While women are made out
to be intelligent and clever, countless commercials and T.V. shows make the man
out to be unintelligent and the laughingstock.
Super hero movies on the other hand portray men as macho
valiant warriors fighting for justice.
We believe there is an intense battle going on for the
hearts of men. Many men have given into
one of cultures definition of masculinity.
Who are we as men? What does
being a man mean? What does the Bible
have to say about who we are as men? How
can we encourage each other to be the disciples of Christ that God wants us to
be?
We are inviting all men
of this congregation 16 years and older to a 15 minute meeting to gauge the interest
of starting a ministry for men. The meeting will be held on Sunday, Nov 15 right after the morning service in
the front of the sanctuary. The
ministerial will make a short presentation and share their vision for men’s
ministry.
