SEEDS
The 2007 Annual Men's
Gathering
Our 75th year !!
August 10, 11 &12
at Keuka College
Can a man be a man and a Christian,
too? We
all want to be better men. Better husbands. Better dads.
Better leaders. With busy schedules
and frantic pace, it's easy for us as men, to get off
track spiritually. Our perspective shifts and our
effectiveness in the many roles we serve in can suffer.
But whatever happened to virtues like strength, God-empowered
accomplishment, courage, endurance, risk, boldness,
brotherhood, fierce
loyalty, duty, honor, and absolutes? Whatever happened
to the virtues that
speak to the hearts of men? THE CHURCH NEEDS MEN and the
godly values that they prize! Come join us for a weekend of spiritual
empowerment, brotherhood, encouragement, and strength. Join us in planting
seeds for Jesus.. WATCH FOR MORE INFORMATION
SOON.. |
