Sunday the 28th August 2009 will a significant date in the history of St Mark’s In particular it will be remembered by the 10 men, who gathered for the second meeting of the St Mark’s “Men for the Master.” The mission statement was clear. This was a step towards taking ownership of our responsibilities in terms of our faith and in terms of making a difference to our brothers and sisters in Christ, who will carry the torch forward in Yeoville. .
Solomon was the driving force behind setting up this Fellowship, which will be held twice a month before the new 10h30 services timeslot starts. The next meeting is therefore on the 13th September 2008 in the church hall.
The meeting was opened in song, praising the Lord and then Giyani Matampi led the group in Bible study.
The reading was from Genesis chapter 2 verses 15 to Genesis 3, verse 19, the story of Adam and Eve, which opened the way for a lively discussion around a man’s role in daily life and in the church and the need to live the Word of God.
These are early days and as the membership grows – 14 attended the first meeting - the men will be able to take on a leading role in caring for both the physical (fixing things) and spiritual well being of this congregation, something the Women’s Association has done with aplomb for years.
We urge all the men of St Mark’s to join us. Bring your Bibles and get ready to sing, dance and work in the name of the Lord.
We will need everybody’s help in defining what needs to be done going forward. But one thing is certain. The men are committed to building a future for St Mark’s in Yeoville.
