Dear Man of Faith…

Fall is just around the corner… I know it’s hot but it really is just around the corner!

School will be starting up, football games will be back on…hurray… and everyone will be getting back on more of a regular schedule.  With all things of Fall in mind, I am glad to remind you that we will be kicking off our men’s quarterly meetings for 2009-10 here at Grace.

Our men’s ministry will take on a different name and will be called Man2Man rather than Men of Faith, but our goals and objectives will be the same… building strong men of faith to lead their homes and this church as godly examples and disciples of the Lord Jesus!

I know how busy we all are and how difficult it is to fit one more thing on our schedule so we will only meet quarterly as a group for teaching, encouragement and prayer, but I would like to see some other men step up to host some small groups to meet in between the quarterly meetings.  Brother Rick Cross already has such a group and it is thriving, but I would like to see it multiplied in the upcoming calendar year.

Guys we need each other as well as the Lord to become the mature, strong men of God needed for this hour.  We will learn to lead our homes in spiritual things, how to pray powerfully and effectively, how to hear the voice of God and how to come together in unity to defeat the enemy and advance the Kingdom!

There will be a list in the lobby of Grace and I would like you to find your name and highlight it with the marker.  If your name is not on there or your information is incorrect or incomplete please fill out a GCC directory form found on the table.  If you know any men who would like to be added to our list, fill out a form for them and put it in the box also.

Let’s make this a year when we will go farther in our spiritual growth in God and be more productive in reaching out to hurting and hopeless men in the power of Jesus Christ.

Our first quarterly meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 7 p.m…  A fellowship time with light refreshments will begin at 6:30 p.m.

 Let’s have the best year ever in the Lord!
