Grumpy Old Disciples (G.O.D.) Men's Group
Thursdays at 3:00 pm
Spawned from the Theology on Tap sessions led by Pastor Karn throughout the year, a small group of old retired guys gather weekly for the lack of a better name “Rogue” Theology on Tap. They gather on Thursday afternoons at 3:00 pm at a local eatery. In fact, a topic of discussion is usually where we will meet the following week.
While the group is very much open to theological discussion and often go there, normal discussion topics include such things as Ted Williams or Willie Mays, Ford or Chevy, Ginger or Marianne. All this might sound a little off the wall for a church group but they’ve come to know one another much better in ways you just don’t get from regular church activities. Seriously. This is a spiritual activity – whenever more than one is gathered in His name - because God is indeed amongst us and is the One we have in common.
Everyone is welcome – as we just heard Jesus’ words from the book of Mark. “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Have a friend that doesn’t go to our church, belongs to a different religion, or doesn’t believe in God? Bring them along - it’s what we’ve been taught to do.
