Nine informal meetings are scheduled from October 12, 2023 through June 13, 2024, all on the second Thursday of each month at 7 PM.
Participants are encouraged to complete a short book or a selection of articles each month and enjoy an evening of lively and informative discussion. The emphasis is on fellowship, so don’t worry if you don’t finish the reading for any particular month.

Goals
-
The purpose of the discussion and fellowship group is to better understand the trends and events in contemporary culture that seek to separate us from our faith, and the role that well-informed men play in our families, communities and in society at large in restoring and maintaining traditional Christian values. Given the times we live in and the devaluation of true manhood, these are timely and important topics.
