St. John's 2021 Annual Report

Page 19

Men at St. John’s meet in small groups four times each week to study God’s word, (following the sermon series), pray, and know one another deeper as brothers in Christ. The goal of our times together is to grow in Christ and be strengthened as ministers that represent Jesus as we serve him in our families, places of work, our church and in our circle of friends. There are about 25 men that meet in three small groups on Zoom and in person on Tuesday nights. On Wednesday mornings from 8-9am a group of 20-25 men meet on Zoom to share with one another, go through the Bible studies, and pray for the needs of that group. Their care for one another is a real strength in this group. In a similar way, a group of seven dads of school-aged children meets on Wednesday mornings from 7am-8am. On Thursday evening eight to 12 men meet to go over the previous Sunday’s sermon, share and spend significant time praying together. This means that week by week there are 60 or more men at St. John’s who meet in small groups that are centered on God’s word. In the year to come our hope is to have in-person Saturday men’s breakfast events where these men of all ages at St. John’s gather to hear a speaker and enjoy DANIEL GIFFORD fellowship in the Lord with each other.
