Peachtree Corners Christian Church Men's Group
16 guys from 5 different local Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ) joined Peachtree Corners Christian Church at Ryan's Restaurant on June 12, 2010 at 8am for our June Men's Breakfast. Those present included Decatur First, Sandy Springs, First Atlanta, Guyton and PCCC.  Click here for some Photos of the event.

Archie Jenkins, our speaker, moved us into consideration of how to encourage younger men, those 18-39, to become more a part of the church of today as well as Men's Ministry activities. This age group is somewhat scarce in many of the mainline denominations. Mentorship and service oriented gatherings seem to be answers. But, of course, personal invitations (evangelism - the e-word) may work best. And, don't forget prayer - (start with this actually).

Archie then talked about the Cookin' For Mission ministry, for which we collected $143.85 (Yeah Baby!) during the meeting. Several Youth related organizations across the nation benefit from the work of Cookin' For Mission each year.

In Memory - Charles Maddox
 Charles passed away on September 23, 2009.  Charles was a wonderful churchman, an inspirational leader of Disciples Men, and a true friend.  Charles was the recipient of the Layman of the Year in 1999.

Spirit of Joy CMF - The Christian Men's Group normally meets the first Saturday of the month in the Activities unit. Breakfast is served before the meeting and is provided by one of the men. Dress is very casual.

We are currently studying "What about Religion & Science?"  Our last discussion of this subject was very informative and lively. The meeting starts at 8:00 a.m. and lasts about an hour.  Come early and join in discussion of local and world situations. All men are welcome.

Past Events
Why Attend Regional Men's Events?
  1. We should spread the word to others that God is working through men.
  2. Shared experiences help you and others.
  3. We can work together for a greater good in mission ventures.
  4. We can benefit, grow and discover a better picture of the church as Jesus intended.
  5. We can share Spiritual fellowship -- we are kindred spirits.
  6. We see that we are not alone and that others go through the same things in this life.
  7. Our gatherings reinforce who we are as Disciples and that the church is global, not limited.
  8. We have greater opportunity to hear new insight from speakers from the wider church.
  9. We can tackle larger service projects as a region than a single congregation can do.
  10. Physical fellowship -- being with likeminded believers in a ministry of presence.
  11. We are meant to gather -- Jesus sent his Disciples out in groups, not alone.
  12. We share an abundant and overflowing outpouring of Christian love among the men.
  13. To be a greater witness to the joy of salvation in Christ.
  14. A benefit -- "as iron sharpens iron, so to does one man another"
  15. So you can meet more folks you'll spend eternity with.
  16. Because God is worshipped and you can experience that worship through music, singing and prayer from a uniquely male perspective and atmosphere.
  17. To stay informed about the joys, needs and concerns of the wider church.
  18. Somebody there may need your help.
  19. Somebody there may be your help.
    And last but not least,
  20. A verse -- " Forsake not the assembling of yourselves" for Christ's sake.
