a plug

There are so many good people and good things at WCC. It would be nearly impossible to try and mention or recognize each person or group or activity etc. in this blog. More than likely someone or something would be missed and someone might possibly be hurt if an effort was made to do so. My guess is, that is why you don’t see much of that kind of thing written about in this blog. But, hopefully, Jeff won’t mind what I am taking the liberty to do here…….

A men’s ministry was kicked off a little over a year ago at WCC. There are different areas where men can participate (The Gathering, Fireside, Men’s Prayer Team, Bible Study, Sports and other activities). See the church bulletin or call the church office for contact information. Tuesday mornings is “The Gathering”. It is where I am able to get connected. I have met many good people by spending my time there over the past year. The atmosphere is positive, uplifting and encouraging. Short talks are given each week by some outstanding people like Pat Starke, Bob Fillmore, Dave Coffman, Mike Andes, Len Bennett and Clay Withers. The talks are relevant, insightful, inspiring and thought provoking. It is a time of fellowship. It is an opportunity to meet new faces and grow in new directions.

For the women who are reading this….please pass the word to the men you know….encourage them to check it out at least once…….

That is my plug.

Peace,

As a working mom, i'm envious. I've seen the impact this group has made on men I know and love. I wish I could participate. There are many women's ministries, but as an individual who is not (and currently cannot be) a stay at home mom, i don't feel there is much that I can participate in without affecting work or family. I already feel guilty about not giving enough to either. Most ministries for women give me the impression that i'd be adding too much to an already full plate. I would love such a direct, compact offering as The Gathering. In the meantime, I'm grateful it exists for the men who mean a lot to our church, our community and our families.
