The Gospel Changes Everything

A friend was telling me about a book he just read called, "Why Men Hate the Church". Here's a description of the book:

"It's Sunday morning. Where are all the men? Golfing? Playing softball? Watching the tube? Mowing the lawn? Sleeping? One place you won't find them is in church. Less than 40 percent of adults in most churches are men, and 20 to 25 percent of married churchgoing women attend without their husbands. And why are the men who do go to church so bored?"

Ouch. My friend did say, however, that on Sunday he was noticing that there are many men at CS church, with a good number of those, who, bucking the trend, attend by themselves.

I'm planning to attend an upcoming pastors' conference called, "God, Manhood and Ministry" put on by Desiring God Ministry in Minneapolis. I'll attend each conference session, unless I get to go golfing (I'm kidding...sort of)

Intergenerational Community

I'm very enthused about "Men's Fraternity", a six week School of Discipleship class that deals with authentic manhood that's coming in February. Click here for a short promo:  Men's Fraternity

Student Ministry Vision

Our church has been richly blessed with lots of families and kids. One of our top priorities is to “develop a comprehensive family ministry with an emphasis on teenage students and whole church involvement.” We’ve been praying and working hard together to make this a reality. God has blessed our efforts. Parents have been connecting in discussion groups. Student small groups are actively meeting together. Mentoring relationships are flourishing. As we look towards this coming year we are excited to see whatnew things God has in store for us. This letter is written to give us a broad outline of where we hope to go this year in Student Ministry.We want to emphasize that we are all in this together – we need your prayers, input and involvement.

Together, growing young men and women
into life-long followers of Jesus,
committed to His church, engaged in restoring God’s world.
