Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
Our aim is to create a supportive and encouraging environment for men to exercise their gifting and experience the guidance of God.
Our events include
Men's Breakfast
Annual Men's Retreat
Occasionally we gather on a Saturday morning from 8:30am to 10:00am. We start with a continental style breakfast and then have a time of sharing, prayer and encouragement for the men (young and old) who are in attendance or not. These are in recess during the summer months. Check the Upcoming events for scheduled Men's Breakfasts.
This is a time to get away for the weekend (typically end of February) and enjoy the company of other men, hear from the word of the Lord, play board games, broomball, billiards, Pickleball, or whatever other sport the facility can offer, eat lots and sleep a little.
Prayer and Fasting
Odd Job Squad
Occasionally the men of Avalon meet at the church to pray. All are welcome even if you have not spent the day fasting, but those who are committing to coming are often choosing to fast a meal, or for the day, leading up to the prayer time.
On occasion, a group of guys will get together and help a family out with shingling the roof, building a deck or fence or even on occasion some mechanical work. Although hard work, these experiences have created laughter and comradery among the men (and some women) who join in to make light work of the heavy task set before them
