Gentlemen,
Let me first admit I was disappointed last Wednesday. I say, “admit” because I don’t believe in pretending but I also don’t think weather is something to be disappointed about. I’m embarrassed that it disappointed me, but I want you to know how much I was looking forward that meeting.
16 men had responded in the affirmative. I said I wanted to share something that Lord had put on my heart for encouragement and 16 men said, “count me in.” And then the snow came, and I had to cancel.
A few men didn’t see the cancelation and we had a good visit, but …
So enough crying in my beer (which I don’t have, btw). On to the reason I'm contacting you.
Sunday night we are doing something new in Bridges and inviting the neighbourhood to join us. I’m asking you men to join me and help us in turning people’s focus to the reason for the celebration. I am still concerned about the extreme family stresses that arise at Christmas. It looks like this year could be worse. I believe we can make a difference. Your presence - the presence of men. - Sunday night will help us big time. The ladies will notice, the kids will notice, and the teens will especially notice. It may also be the start of something bigger than we have imagined.
It’s 6:00. P.M. Sunday. Short night. Yummy refreshments and some real focus on “God so LOVED the (whole) WORLD…
Reply YES to the text if I can count on you Sunday night, please.
