Man to Man Small Groups  (Mentoring meetings)

 Every other Sunday morning we will not meet at the church for a combined class but rather in small multi generational groups at various locations (coffee shop, doughnut shop, etc…) for mentoring times. We will provide everyone with discussion questions about the former weeks class.  Man to Man small groups will meet on Dec. 18^th / Jan. 15^th & 29^th /  Feb. 12^th & 26^th

Small Group Discussion Focus:

 Once your group determines where to meet for your “small group” time every other week we will provide each group with discussion questions focusing on the prior weeks study. We want to also encourage each father /son group and “male mentor” to pick out a book that focuses on  how to be a Godly man.  If there is time after you finish with your small group discussion we would encourage you to share with your group what you are getting out of your personal reading.  See back of this paper for a list of suggested reading. We will also have books available for you to check out if needed.

Guy's night out -  Once a month we will plan some type of outing together as a group (gun show, action movie, poker night, Mon. Night football, etc..). This is simply a  time to provide our teenage boys a chance to get to know the men of our church in a non church setting. Dec. 11^th / Jan. 22^nd / Feb. 19th

 Training Day  - We will also try to plan several "Training Day's" in the spring. These will be days in which we get together and teach our teenage boys some basic man skills.
