Duluth/Gwinnett Church News for Christian Men

Men’s Fraternity is returning to the Duluth/Suwanee area.  The series, “Winning at Work and Home” is 16 meetings.  The first “semester” will run for 10 meetings ending right before Christmas.  There is a break over the holidays, then we’ll start back up for the remaining 6 meetings.

Click here to view a video overview of Men’s Fraternity.

The live series will kick off at Duluth First UMC starting Saturday, September 11 at 8:00 a.m. using the DVD series recorded by Robert Lewis, author of “Raising a Modern Day Knight”, “Rocking the Roles: Building a Win-Win Marriage” and “The New Eve – Choosing God’s Best for Your Life” as the stage for the WINNING AT WORK AND HOME.

Imagine the transforming power of men coming together within your church and community to honestly examine their lives and take the courageous steps necessary to embrace authentic manhood on a journey to become who God intends them to be. That is the goal of Men’s Fraternity.

When men connect in life-changing ways, a powerful ripple effect touches families, workplaces, and the church. Deeper connections with God and other men inspire participants to connect more meaningfully in all facets of their lives. They climb beyond the walls of isolation and aspire to a biblical viewpoint marked by integrity, boldness, and compassion.

Through this powerful series, men learn to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, and expect God’s greater reward.

Come on Saturday, September 11th at 8:00 a.m. at Duluth First UMC in the Youth Center (called the “Fish Tank”).  Make a commitment that might just change your life…and your family.  You’ll need to order a workbook from the Men’s Fraternity website below.  We will have copies of the workbook material for the first session or two to allow for all books to come in.  Coffee and bagels/pastries will be served.  Follow the signs to the entry when you arrive at the church.  Bring a friend.  Experience this together.

Grow/Community Groups at Sugarloaf United Methodist Church

The second large initiative that I believe can help us all grow and mature more rapidly in our faith is Grow/Community Groups that our church are starting VERY soon. Stay tuned to the church for details as sign up will start on 9-5-10.

Grow/Community Groups will meet weekly & be limited to 12 people to each group and there will be many groups and times to pick and choose from. Tami and I will be leading one of them, and we will most likely meet on Monday evenings. For those seeking to exponentially grow your faith sign up early, as once groups reach their limits they are filled.

Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

This is an exciting time in the history of our church and a great way to continue to Serve and Grow in God and to become more like our Creator.

To read more about the groups as information becomes available you can visit Sugarloaf United Methodist Church’s website at http://www.sugarloaf.org/index.da

Tres Dias is a three day weekend and is an interdenominational Christian geared towards your spiritual rebirth.

Duluth CPA Invites Gwinnett Christians to Grow in Christ 

For Ages Tenth Grade to 100 plus Years Old 

Emmaus Community: Amazing Weekend Getaway to Deepen & Strengthen Your Faith 

On our 2010 Mission Trip to Pueblo Pintado we all watched the majesty of God unfold before our very eyes on a daily, and often hourly basis. The raw beauty of Amazing Grace played as God’s sunrise appeared, the humility and beauty of the Three Sisters, our Cross on a hill, the smiles of the children in VBS and Sports camp, the joy of teaching and crafts of the Women’s Bible Study and at the Senior Center, and the great projects Construction and our Service Teams performed, and watching a VW being built before our eyes as we learned the Object Lessons of the day. 

I will never forget the moments of being with each one of you as we nailed our sins and our past to the cross, how we praised and worshiped God on the Mesa and our communion there and the nails that we all have to remind us all of God’s great love and passion for our lives. 

There are two great initiatives that you need to be aware of to take your faith walk deeper. SUMC has long been involved in Emmaus which is a three day weekend where you will find the love of God in a new and meaningful way that you will never have before. On your weekend you will discover peace and His forgiveness for the past, be strengthened in your faith and resolve for the journey that lays ahead. Tami & I are committed to your lives, your journey and to help see what we might do to help you discover the destiny God Himself has for your life. 

This Friday, August 20th from 7:00-8:30pm; join us in the Worship Center for food, fun, fellowship and Walk information.  This is a pot luck dinner hosted by our SUMC Emmaus Community.  If you have not been on a Walk, you do not have to bring anything just yourself!  However, to ensure we have enough food and space please register at https://public.serviceu.com/registration/default.asp?OrgID=1437&EventID=4707767&OccID=167334631 

Having Served in the United States as a CPA for decades I have learned again and again that seeking wise counsel is the beginning to wisdom and that we need others to help us grow closer to Christ.

“Dare to Attempt Something so Great for the Kingdom of God, that it is Doomed to Failure Lest God be in it!”

Duluth GA CPA Presents: Duluth Christian Men’s Group 

Taking Christianity Into the World 

Many thanks to Aarron Pina for leading a very challenging Men Step Up discussion last Friday.  No doubt that many of you and me are still thinking about the questions that were asked. 

This week, you are stuck with me again.  We are going to talk about the dynamics of communication – listening versus talking.  So, I will give you a head start on our discussion.  Which best describes you?  Are you a talker or a listener?  Think about it. 

Who, in your life, needs you to be a listener?  Who needs to hear from you?  If you’re like me, you may have those people confused…talking to those who need you to listen and listening to those who need someone to tell them the truth.  

Listen, I have a great idea…let’s talk about it on Friday from 6:30am – 7:30pm @ California Dreaming (Old Peachtree Rd & I-85 exit 109).  To learn more you can contact Casey at 404-918-5343

Dare to Attempt Something so Great for the Kingdom of God that it is doomed to failure, lest Christ be in it!

Is Your Church Ready to Experience Radical Spiritual Growth? 

I believe that adult education and service/mission projects should look to work hand in hand in doing so starting each quarter to have break out weekends. The quarterly break-out sessions would include a wide host of topics from finance, to child rearing, to Missions, to Discipleship to Bible Study and would last from Friday evening to Saturday mid-day. One of the primary starting point sessions should a “brass tacks” “keep it simple” approach to what Christian Leadership looks like. Voice of One: Nehemiah’s Prayer, is for those who are seeking to be more like Christ. 

Christian Leadership 101. 

There are many who will buy secular book after another seeking to learn how the world sees Leadership. A Voice of One: Nehemiah’s Story is what God has to say about leadership. Humble servant-hood, an open heart, a willing body, an over-comer are all tenants of a someone to whom God can and will do great things through. Unlock the truth of the Bible, putting them to work in your life seeking to be all that God would have you be, while learning how to be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

If we are to be a church of doers and to fulfill our destiny we need to guide others to live their lives to “Dare to Attempt Something so Great for the Kingdom of God that it is doomed to failure, lest Christ be in it!” 

Imagine what would happen if all Believers lived their lives unafraid and willing to do God’s bidding when prompted. Freed from the chains that bound them, we would be free to do the bidding of Jesus Christ. Nehemiah’s story is about how one man, a layman, listened to God and did what all thought impossible. Nehemiah, sought the favor of a king, who provided the needed resources he needed to accomplish his task of rebuilding Jerusalem’s broken down walls in just 52 days, A Voice of One: Nehemiah’s Story will lead you and your Christian walk guiding you to higher heights still. This is a must read for Believers who are seeking to fulfill their God given destiny and want to live in accordance with God’s will.

Christian CPA Presents: God’s Providence and 7Bridges to Recovery Praise Team on Channel 57 

Taking Christianity Into the World 

We would like to thank our dear friends Mike and Charlene for the donation of our new 16 passenger van! We know it is the provision of the Lord and not them personally but we are grateful for their obedience to hearing God’s voice. The van made its debut on the streets this Saturday and is already a huge blessing to us!  As a reminder, we will be appearing in Channel 57 this coming Monday, June 21st, on Atlanta Live between 7 and 9 pm! Our very own praise team  will be playing but keep us in your prayers that we will worship an audience of One and not put on a show for anyone else. This truly is an honor and we pray God will be pleased with the worship. With summer in full motion, we have lots going on and many opportunities to bring God glory through our service. We appreciate your prayers and support of all that God is doing here. We acknowledge our dependency on Him and know your prayers are powerful! Please come on by and serve with us as we seek to reach out to the least of God’s people on the streets of Atlanta! Have a blessed rest of your week!
