MEN OF ABBY FREE

At Abby Free we have a vibrant men's work that operates in an informal manner.  But it happens nevertheless in crucial and significant ways that make a difference in the lives of the men of the church, the church as a whole and to the community around us.

Men's Breakfasts

Every week, other than during the summer, men meet every Tuesday morning at the church to talk over breakfast, hear someone speak on a subject of interest or recount their life story, and to pray for the needs of the men and their families.  This group of men has grown to appreciate the bond they have with each other - and they invite others to join them, too.

Once a month on a Saturday morning they hold a special breakfast and invite men of all ages to come.  This way those who can't make it on Tuesday mornings can be a part of these breakfasts.

It is through activities like these that men get to associate with each other and derive a sense of camaraderie through the process.

Visiting & Coffee

Still other men take it upon themsevels to visit with older men who aren't as physically robust as they once were.  A marvelous exchange happens in these visits.  The younger men learn from the older men's lives and ministry experiences while the older men enjoy male companionship that every man appreciates.  They also visit with men with physical challenges that prevent them from participating in activitiies.

Some men meet for coffee regularly, go on hunting or fishing trips, or gather to play pool.  The important thing is that they enjoy friendships through their activities.

And, in an intentional-outreach way, men seeking to know God are invitied to join in, to learn what these men know.

Physical Labour

Men love to be physical.  So, there are men who band together to work on improving the church building or repair musical instruments used for worship or set up and take down event props.

If you are interested in learning more about these activities call the church office.
