Upcoming Events
Men's Ministry of St. Francis
"For my yoke is easy and my burden light." - Matthew 11:28-30
A journey to pump adrenaline into your faith.
Date: Saturday, August 20th @ 9am
Place: St. Francis Lower Church
The Men's Ministry will start a weekly faith sharing group gathering. To get us off on the right foot, we have asked for assistance from a well-respected men's ministry advocate, Mr. Bob Saraceni. Some highlights of Bob's journey are:
-
He began his professional career in financial services technology and eventually moved to Human Resources Recruiting.
-
He has spent the last 15 years involved with men's spirituality, helping to launch and develop men's faith sharing groups at www.mensministries.com
-
His goals are to scripture and prayer to lived experiences.
This is an informational gathering and opportunity for asking asking questions.
So, let's get started - Jesus will do all the heavy lifting!
