Men's ministries
Tuesday Group
We are casual group of men using a Discipleship Series off the ELCA website to study & discuss the lectionary text. It is not an issue if you are unable to read the material ahead of time, just come and connect. We meet in the Gathering Place (Café Koinonia) at 1:00 pm on Tuesdays. We have coffee and use the Discipleship worksheets to help us reflect on and discuss the text that is likely to be used the following Sunday for the sermon. Typically we have 6-8 attend, there is always room for more. We look forward to seeing you. Contact Darrel Cox for more information.
Thursday Group

Saturday Group
For over 30 years, men have been gathering on Saturday mornings at 7:30 am in the Gathering Place (Café Koinonia) to study the Bible. It is a casual group that meets for Bible study and fellowship. We are working our way through various books of the Bible, covering both Old and New Testaments. We typically have 8-10 attend, but are always looking for more. There is not a better way to start off the weekend than in a study of God's Word! Contact Al Purdy at 515-707-8946 for more information.
