In the Male Bag - January

Hi guys:

A couple things ... 

1st.  Pray for Joe (& his buddy Mitch).  Joe has Alzheimer's,
  but in recent days, he has been really struggling, and it's hard on everyone in Joe's circle,

  including his wife, family and Mitch (they've been friends since high school).

  We've been so blessed by Joe in the circle -- he brings a face of Christ that is uniquely his to bring.

2nd.  We are set for our Monthly Males Spirituality Open Circle ...

  this Monday January 25; from 7 - 9:15pm.

  We're out at Bethesda, (just off Dwyer Hill Rd at Hgwy 7)
  Carpooling is from St Joe's -- meetup at 6:15.

  The forecast is warmer for Monday, which is great.
  Dave Sheehan is on deck to share a bit of his journey.

  As always our intention is to create a sacred space,

  where we can remember, and breath, and be sons of God;
  it's a place to be intimate with ...
   God, ourselves, nature and each other;

  to hold both the grace and the shit of our lives,

  until God, the great healer, transforms us.

 It's also a place to just relax and be guys,
  we usually go out afterwards to carry on the fellowship.

So, I hope to see you soon - maybe this week if it works for you.

Instructions:

a) reserve with me as soon as possible,

b) re: carpool ... let me know if you need a ride from St Joe's / or can provide one.

c) set up team ... folks needed to get to Bethesda at 5:30 to get the Chapel Stove going.

Blessings on your new year, and may God make clear - his Pearl of Great Price to you.

by Grace,

Dave
