* Men's Friday Morning Fellowship *
Also known as "Men's Breakfast" this group formed because the Men's Retreat was not enough time together. The need to meet and greet one another, to eat, to share and reflect on the daily issues in each man's life is a tremendous source of support among these brothers in Christ. Men, drop in at 6:30 am every other Friday in the Palm Room and see how quickly you are enfolded into this group of men. For more information contact Doug Robertson.
