Men of all ages are invited to gather with a breakfast
“icebreaker” and proceed to a meeting room where we re-group, relax
and reflect on Christ’s role in different aspects of our daily lives. The
group is interactive (there are no speeches here, rather all are encouraged to
share their experiences or just listen) and we freely share our individual
tales of our Christian lives. All men are welcome and no membership is
required! We meet 3 times a year (January, May and September).
