The St. Benedict Men’s
Fellowship Group is directed at the fostering of a Christian
lifestyle. The group has been meeting for over five
years and has grown and evolved during that period. The
group’s emphasis is the sharing of our individual efforts to
live a Christian life and act as a role model to our
family and extended
community. The group fellowship has
presented an ideal opportunity for new
members of the Church of St. Benedict
community to make contacts and establish relationships
with other like-minded men of the parish community. The general
structure and activities are modeled
after a number of similar groups operating in
the Atlanta area under
the general name, Friday
Morning Men’s Fellowship. Also, the national
Promise Keepers organizational goals
and objectives have provided some
additional focus on what needs to be accomplished. Christian
men need to stand up and take back the nation from the rapidly
evolving secular influences. To prepare an army of Christian
men for this battle we first need to individually get right with
God. Then learn how to address our
role as leaders of our families and role models in our
communities. Our fellowship is directed at
supporting and assisting one another in our individual efforts to meet
these challenges. Underling principles: Once
we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior we can
conclude that we should
follow His will. That has been clearly
stated to mean; 1) live in harmony with
His word and 2) tell others about Him. Our group
is therefore focused on 1) helping its members to pursue
a life that keeps Christ and His
teachings first and 2) making these truths visible in our family,
community and world. The sharing discussions
have provided the participants with a level of new
confidence to approach life's challenges from a
Christ centered perspective. Knowing that they are part of a
large group of men, with
similar beliefs and
commitments, provides the individuals
with tangible encouragement
to act
within the context of Christian principles. The sharing
of perspectives often help to
enlighten and expand the participants approach
to handling daily challenges. |
