Strength in Unity
| www.ashtead.org | Links | Ashtead Churches Men's Group |
A group of like minded men from all the Christian churches in Ashtead who wish to express their faith beyond attending Sunday services.
Our prime purpose in meeting is friendship.
We meet monthly on Saturday mornings when, over a simple breakfast (cereals, toast & bacon sarnies), we have a diverse programme of speakers and topics which stimulate discussion, expand understanding and deepen our faith.
Recent topics have included prison, the digital age, theology in politics and the psychology of sheds; so, something for everyone!
All ages, backgrounds, shapes and interests are welcome - neighbours and friends as well as regular church goers
We fit in with family life by ending our breakfast meetings by 9.30am
Beyond our breakfasts, we also seek opportunities to extend our friendship, pursue our interests, support each other, and live out our faith in the wider community
Breakfast Timetable Saturdays 8.00am to 9.30am Cost: £3 | |||
