History and Projects

In March of 1999 the first Men's breakfast was held. Eighteen men were present at the first meeting. There are over thirty taking part. Not all can make it each month but about half are present at each breakfast. At the first breakfast it was decided to make our church home our major project. We would, in cooperation with the board of trustees, work around the church repairing, up grading cleaning or anything we might be asked to do. Since then we have also taken on projects outside the Church. The fellowship is great. We all have a good time.

All men of the church are welcome to participate. If participation in projects is not something you can or care to do, come for the fellowship. Linger over coffee and enjoy the company of other men. We want all men, young and senior, to join us. The group meets the first Saturday each month at 8:00 A.M.

If you would like more information, contact The Church Office. We Will Set a place at the table and put an extra egg in the pot for you.

MEN IN ACTION

ABMen IN ACTION is the fastest growing publication in the American Baptist Churches. This fact comes as no surprise with the phenomenal growth in men's movements nationwide. ABMen IN ACTION is a quarterly journal of the growth and new ministries to men and boys in Baptist churches, and ideas that are working for gender-specific ministry.
In each edition, readers find updates related to ABMen Disaster Relief, Man-2-Man evangelism, and ABBoys/ABYoungMen. You'll also find articles about the Christian Men's Movement, ABC Missions, and tips for starting or reinvigorating your ministry to men and boys.
Some recent and upcoming themes include: God's Priorities, Looking to the Future, New Vision for a New Day, Fatherhood and Mentoring, Disaster Relief Ministry, 75 Years of ABMen, and ABBoys/ABYoungMen.
Best of all, it's free! We want to send this great resource to every man and boy in our denomination. Sign up now for yourself, and send us the names of the guys in your church who would appreciate ABMen IN ACTION. We'll gladly send it right to their mailbox!
