Have you ever started a hike without a directional map and a hiking companion? Similarly, we don’t want to go through life without God’s Map and a Christian friend to walk along side of us!
Come meet other men from PebbleCreek and join us for our monthly meetings and/or weekly Bible study, both held in the months October and November and January through May. At our monthly meetings inspirational speakers share from a Christian perspective to encourage and help develop further Biblical maturity among the membership. The meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month in the Tuscany Falls Chianti Room starting at 7:30 a.m. Coffee and pastries are available starting at 7:00 a.m. at the Tuscany Falls Coffee Bar next to the Chianti Room which provides a nice opportunity for fellowship. For more information contact Tom MacKenzie (see contact information below).
The Men’s Bible Study hosted by the Fellowship meets each Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. in the small conference room just adjacent to the Tuscany Falls Chianti Room. This provides the opportunity to interact on biblical topics covered in the study, helps us to discover how we can apply biblical truths in our daily lives and also provides the opportunity to get to know other members better.
The Fellowship also does two outreach projects in the calendar year in lieu of their regular monthly meeting. On January 3 members and guests of the Fellowship will be going to St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance in Surprise to sort food. St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance is a non-sectarian, non-profit organization and one of the largest food banks in the United States. The Alliance provides food supplies to many churches, schools and other food banks in Arizona (including Aqua Fria in Goodyear).
The Fellowship also has a monthly restaurant luncheon that members can attend offering the opportunity for additional fellowship and a great meal. The next luncheon is on January 25. Contact J.D. Brown for information at 236-2499 or email: [email protected].
At the upcoming February 7 meeting the Fellowship is pleased to have as their speaker Shelly Volk. Shelly is a Messianic Jew, former pastor, evangelist and radio personality who will speak on Sharing Your Faith With Others.
Note: All men residing in PebbleCreek are welcome to attend the Men’s Christian Fellowship events described above.
