Golf Outing in October

A moral failure of a man stands behind ever unplanned pregnancy in the womb of an unwed mother.  It is fitting that our men's ministry seek to help these women.  Bob Lasher, Todd Metzler and Carl Hilbert have been at work putting together a fabulous fundraiser for A Door of Hope.  Play golf (whether you are good or not!), and a portion of the fees goes to A Door of Hope.  Bob is working on getting sponsors for holes to raise even more money.  Approach your company to help him out.  Or, consider sponsoring a hole in memory of a loved one or dedicated to a loved one.  Here are the details.

Guest Blogger Ti Brown

I asked Ti Brown to post something short about his experience with the men's ministry at EP.  I also asked him to write something longer which will be up in the near future.  Thanks Ti!

Although it was different than I expected, I enjoyed the 2 study sessions I was invited to & ultimately attended at EPC. EPC has been good to me or years. It has been over 10 years that I've been playing bball in the EPC gymnasium. The hoops sessions are great, but it was a nice surprise to be invited to a formal study. Coupling my spiritual emotion with an academic understanding of the Bible has been invaluable to me recently. See, lately I've been unsettled about my feelings concerning religion & church lately. Bringing me closer to the Bible and to men who already know how to show their love for God in manly, respectful ways has helped me begin to re-ground & re-focus myself.

I am a Black, working, single father and proud of all those attributes of mine. As such, I can't say it wasn't initially uncomfortable being the only minority man in the studies. But the men at my table and in the study hall made it clear that being there was about being closer to Jesus, and that made everything else fall into place.

It's been great to be invited to a place to discuss the challenges of life as a man with other men who also want to be close to Jesus. EPC has always been open that way to me. I've seen young, proud Black men come play bball with older White men and watch the games be played in respect for both cultures. I've appreciated that, as I appreciate the study invitation. I'm looking forward to the next one.
