in the Male Bag... April 22, 2014

Brothers ...
Here's an update of what's in store as Spring arises in us ...

I.  Next Males Spirituality Open Circle - Monday April 28
  * likely to be held at Waupoos Farm with nature walk, fire and drumming.
     Theme - "Dying before we Die"
       What has the Cross taught us about life, love and freedom.

      Think of all the ways the Cross has been a meaningful symbol to you in your journey,
       and we'll all have a chance to share some stories.   
   Planning - to meet up at St Joe's at 6:30 for rides;
       Drop off will probably be 9:30 or 10.

   Please RSVP with Dave ... davidanthonyperry@gmail.com

II.  Connected event - Young Adult (ages 18 - 35-ish)
      St Joe's Young Adult Dinner (both guys and girls)
      This Sunday April 27 around 5 pm start ...
      Should be a fantastic celebration of the newly initiated young adults,
       and time of thanks for the past year.
      GOTTA REGISTER TODAY ... EMAIL RADO ... radamishany@gmail.com

     

III.  Spring Work Bee at Waupoos Farm ...
     * Please SAVE THIS DATE -- Saturday May 10; 9 am - 4 pm
      We're hopeful that the Mens Circle can really chip in and lend some hands;
      It's a great organization and a facility that we're looking to grow with;
      as we host more events like the Mens Circles out there in the Spring and Fall.

IV.  Just around the Corner ...
      Summer Schedule - Bi-weekly Small Groups for Young Adult / Students brothers;
      Proposed schedule... to be discussed and agreed upon
      Every 2nd Wednesday ... such as May 7 & May 21

and just a reflection on grace and gratitude,

"I no longer want anything to do with love 

    that is not grateful."  (Thomas Merton)

Gratitude is part of the deepest reservoir in our soul --
   let if flow from us.... for all the blessings and the sufferings that Life brings us.

in Deep affection,

Dave
