THE JOURNEY OF THE ALL SAINTS MENS FELLOWSHIP
On a sunny Sunday morning in July of 2013, ten men from the All Saints Congregation met at the Parish Hall with the intention of electing office bearers, for the yet to be formed Men’s fellow ship. This was the beginning of the journey of our fellowship.
The numbers that came for the first meeting were so few, that we wanted to postpone the election till we get better attendance, however it was decided to go forward with the election of the office bearers from those present.
This is where it started to get very interesting. Padre announced the positions as President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Names were suggested for the various posts and each of us fought valiantly and highly energetically proclaiming many good reasons why we cannot take responsibility for the afore mentioned posts. Oh, it was getting hard to fill the posts. Each of us was at our convincing best. Nevertheless the elections proceeded and were done.
Many meetings and three years later the ASC Men’s fellowship is a vibrant group of more than 40 men of all ages and occupations who through their fellowship have forged strong bonds of acquaintance and friendship.
Christian Fellowship: In Christianity, a term (translated from the Greek koinonia) referring to individual Christians who are in Christian communion with each other.
One of our reasons to exist as a group of men from All Saints Church is to demonstrate a behavior of being in Christian communion with each. This we do through the various activities or events that evolve from our meetings every first Sunday of the month after church service... With the ever present, presence of our loving Jesus Christ, the last three years has seen the ASMF evolve into a powerful group of Christian men, who have been blessed with many interesting and blessed events.
