Man-to-Man Ministry

Description:

Guided by the Holy Spirit, we provide a Christ centered fellowship open to men
of all ages.

Our goal is to continually invite men to join in a closer spiritual relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and other Christian men.

As men of all ages, we come together on a regular basis throughout the year with the common purpose to learn, share, and grow in our roles and relationships as brothers, sons, husbands, fathers, and grandfathers.

We share our lives, personal experiences and our faith.

We are about fellowship, caring, and support of one another for we acknowledge the need and value of relationships with other Godly men as expressed in Sacred Scripture.

“Where a lone man may be overcome, two together can resist. A three ply card is not easily broken” (Eccl 4:12)

Activities & Time Commitment:

Attendance is at will, each meeting is independent, please come any time.

We meet on the first Tuesday of the month (except June, July, & August when we take a summer break).

6:30 PM – Dinner prepared by one of our men.

7:30 PM – We share prayer, songs and Sacred Scripture readings, followed by a topic presentation by one of our men or a guest presenter.

In small or large groups we then discuss and share what we have just heard and how we can apply this message to our personal lives.

9:00 PM – Meeting closes with prayer and prayer requests

What we strive for:

I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed.

The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is in God’s hands. I am finished and done with low living, small planning, the bare minimum, smooth knees, mundane talking, frivolous living, selfish giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, applause, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, the best, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith.

I lean on Christ’s presence. I love with patience, live by prayer, and labor with the power of God’s grace.

My face is set. My gait is fast, my goal is heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, and my mission is clear.

I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed.  I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus. I am a Catholic. I must go until He comes, give until I drop, speak out until all know, and work until He stops me.

And when He returns for His own, He will have no difficulty recognizing me.  My banner is clear: I am a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed.
