FREE BREAKFASTS OFFERED ON THURSDAY MORNINGS BEGINNING OCTOBER 8th! COFFEE, JUICE, DONUTS or BREAKFAST PIZZA! ALL MEN ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!
Now that I have your attention, many of you probably took notice of the numerous cars parked at the Presbyterian Church in Paullina at 6:00am on Thursday mornings throughout the fall, winter, and spring of last year - and the previous year. You may have been wondering why more than 30 dedicated men, young and young at heart, would consistently come together in the wee hours before sunrise on those mornings. The answer is Men’s Fraternity.
Men’s Fraternity is a globally successful men’s ministry DVD curriculum developed by Robert Lewis, a pastor at Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was created in response to a request from the men of his church who wanted MORE THAN A BIBLE STUDY. They felt they needed some practical insight in how to live as biblical men and they needed a safe place each week where they could process these truths with other men. They said, “We want an environment of openness and brotherhood, like we had back at the fraternity in college, only more helpful and spiritually constructive.”
Men’s Fraternity is not “an event”; it is “a process” that enables men to experience real life-change together with other men over the weeks that they are together. This is an extremely sought after and popular program, which was developed to help men become better fathers, better husbands, and to build stronger family relationships. There are literally hundreds of thousands of churches and other organizations hosting the Men’s Fraternity programs throughout the United States and around the world.
This curriculum has been found to be an exciting and powerful program that has the potential to make a HUGE impact on the lives of the men of the South O’Brien Community. The DVD series for the first year of the program was so popular and so successful that we offered Men’s Fraternity II – Winning at Work and Home to all of the men in the SOS community, absolutely free of charge! Year 2 of Men's Fraternity was also a huge success and so, we are offering year 3 of Men's Fraternity this fall here at the First Presbyterian Church of Paullina. It is not necessary for a man to have completed Men’s Fraternity I or II in order to benefit from attending Men’s Fraternity III.
The program will kick off at 6:00am on Thursday, October 9th at the First Presbyterian Church in Paullina. The program will end by 7:30am to allow folks time to get to their places of employment. Once again, coffee, juice, and donuts or breakfast pizza will be provided free of charge! All you have to do is be there! The program will meet every Thursday morning at 6:00am with breaks for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. This year's program will be led by Kevin Brasser, who has been a participant and group leader in Men’s Fraternity for the past two years.

We would love to have you join us as we embark on these life-changing journeys together! Come and experience for yourself what all the excitement is all about!
