The Men's Ministry was created for men to minister to men in the spirit of Christ. The cornerstone of the Ministry is the monthly breakfast meetings providing a frequent way for men to come together. The Men's Ministry provides a safe haven for men to meet other Christian men for friendship, advice, the sharing of our journey through life, and a smooth transition for involvement in other activities with the St. Francis Community. These other activities include:
Monthly Breakfast Details
On the first Monday of the month, the Men’s Ministry meets for breakfast in Clare Hall (gym) from 7 AM – 8 AM. The usual format is a homemade breakfast followed by a talk (Witness, Spiritual, or Instructional) given by a guest speaker. Discussion is encouraged and follow up information is provided. It’s a great way to start the day and the week. A donation of $4.00 is requested to cover the expense of breakfast and newcomers are especially welcome to attend.
Upcoming breakfast Dates:
