The Importance of Men Connecting With God

I love the men of our church.

Here is what I sent to them recently by email . I made a call about how to best serve them this month.

It’s about this time in a quarter that we have a Blokes in the Shed session. And don’t we love the food!

Our church calendar fills up very quickly and we try and keep the ministry “menu” balanced in a month so that families are not under too much pressure.
So we only like putting 1 major church-wide opportunity per weekend
(and have 1 weekend per month where there is nothing extra church-wide on)

So I thought, “what is the most important thing that I can do for the men this month?”

And it became a “no-brainer.”

Men need encouragement and support to meet that deep desire to become all they want to be - +they want to be good providers, good fathers, good leaders and good workmates.

And one of the best ways to do that is to be connected with God’s life-giving love and resource and wisdom.
Men need to be constantly connected in a quality relationship with God.

And the people around you who love you, relate to you and depend on you will know if you are connected to God or not.
If you are feeling risky, ask them some time. Ask them to be honest.

So if you need
1. some tips about running your “engine” well
2. a God-tune up,
3. an oil change in your God-relationship
4. a heart re-bore
5. some new rubber to get some traction
6. a God-assessment under your hood to see if things are running OK in the engine-department

please respond to this email with “count me in” for this Saturday 2pm to 5pm.

When you RSVP we will tell you more details etc... and we will need to print you a very helpful manual for the workshop.
