A-MEN Men's Ministry "If you're a man at Carmel Lutheran Church, you're a member of A-Men." A-Men's mission: To grow and enrich the faith, fellowship and servanthood of men in Christ. |
We'd like you to consider the following survey results reported by Focus on the Family.
- If a child is the first person in a household to become a Christian, there is only a 3.5% probability that everyone else in the household will follow.
- If the mother is the first to accept Christ, there is only a 17% chance the rest of the family will follow.
- But if the man (husband, father) is the first person in a home to become a Christian, there is a 93% probability that the rest of a family will follow.
Does this give you new perspective on what it means to "Be a Man?"
Thank you for all the men who attended the
FOURTH ANNUAL A-MEN RETREAT Another great event for Men to grow and enrich the faith, fellowship and servanthood of men in Christ!
Ongoing Men's Ministries
Bibles and Bagels
Bibles and
Bagels is a Bible study for men of all ages at the church on the second
and fourth Saturdays of every month at 7:30 a.m. Breakfast in the West
Cafeteria and Bible study in Room 101B. The meeting starts with coffee,
donuts or other sweet stuff (seldom bagels), and friendly banter about
sports or world events. Then, it moves to prayer time and some serious
study of the Scripture. Typically, the study follows a selected book of
the Bible. However, it may follow a particular subject that Scripture
can illuminate upon. Bibles and Bagels is a great way to start the
weekend. Sessions adjourn faithfully at 9:00. There is a wealth of
maturity and Godly wisdom available and everyone is welcome.
G.I.F.T. -- Guys in Fellowship Together
Wednesdays,
6:30 - 7:30 am (room 102A), beginning September 10 and continuing
through the school year. This men's Bible study, led by Mark
Borcherding, DCE, shares fellowship, the Word of God and lots of
coffee. Join us for a walk through the Bible. You won't be
disappointed.
SERVICE PROJECTS
A-Men, the men's ministry of Carmel Lutheran, regularly volunteers mind and muscle to LDM (Lutheran Disabilities Ministry). LDM
continues to build/remodel its Camp and Retreat Center in Anderson, and
we want to help them keep costs down by providing manpower. We have
helped out may times at this site, and it is rewarding to see the
progress.
We often go to LDM on a Saturday morning, from about 9:00 a.m. - noon. When participating, it's a good idea to bring work gloves and boots. We assist with many different projects, like cleaning up the grounds, pulling nails from boards, hauling wood, etc. You are always encouraged to invite friends, and this is a good opportunity for high-schoolers who are looking for community service projects.
Usually, we meet at the main church parking lot and caravan/car pool to the LDM Camp and Retreat Center, located at 4038 S. Ridgeview Rd., in Anderson.
Shaun Scholer is the CLC point man for this effort. For more information about this service opportunity, contact Shaun Scholer at 317-414-0889 or at shaun.scholer@att.net.
*LDM is an independent inter-denominational ministry recognized by the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod, affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and is a member of the Lutheran Services in America. LDM's mission is equipping the church to minister to people who have developmental disabilities. For more information on LDM, go to www.ldminc.org.
