IMPACT Men’s Ministry

To all Hosanna Men…
How do you feel when someone mentions a “Men’s Group”? Do you quickly do a mind-search of reasons you just can’t make it? Would you actually prefer a root canal or driving your Mother-in-Law to Beaumont? Or is it just sort of not interesting to you?
You probably want to live closer to Jesus than you currently are, but the thought of “relating” to men you don’t know that well, in some small room somewhere, kind of gives you the “willies”. You also don’t relish standing in a circle holding sweaty hands, listening to a nervous prayer in “Christianese”.
You would honestly like to laugh and hang out with some other males you can relate to, without pressure, obligation, or feeling like you’re at a lecture about what’s wrong with men today. And you don’t think it’s very likely that you will find that at church.
Well, we may be able to change all that!
Some time ago, I felt the Lord speaking to my heart about you. Some of you feel like you don’t have many (or any) friends at church. Some feel like slaves to the job and wish you had more time for guy friends. You might wish you had some guys you enjoyed hanging out with, but schedules, family and other obligations seem to always interfere. As a result, so many of us don’t know each other very well.
What if we got together and found out a little more about who we are, what we do, and where we came from? What if you had a “no pressure” opportunity to hang out with Hosanna men and find out more about what we’re really about?
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT AT 7 P.M. WE WILL DO THAT VERY THING!
I really hope you will come be a part of it. I would like to introduce some subjects, get your thoughts, have some laughs, and maybe hit you with a couple of surprises during our time together. We are going to call it “Impact” and it will start very simply with our guys enjoying an evening hanging out with each other and having a good time.
I believe just stepping out to do something like this could bring some good, positive changes into your life in the very near future. Would you consider joining me at the church this Monday night?
Your friend,
James
