Join the Wednesday Breakfast Bunch on Wednesday mornings at 7:30 AM in St. Elisabeth's Refectory for breakfast and fellowship. Most attend the 7:00 AM Eucharist in the Chapel before they meet for a delicious meal ($3) together. This is a great way to get to know your fellow parishioners in a small church atmosphere. For information, contact Barbara Shoemaker.

Note: This group will not meet on holidays or during Church campus closings. Please contact the group leader for updates.

The Men of St. Martin's group is open to all men of the Parish (all ages), and any male guests and visitors. We gather each Thursday from 7:00-8:00 AM in Bagby Parish Hall for breakfast ($5.00), a special guest speaker or brief Bible reflection, and then we break into groups for discussion, fellowship and mutual support. Reservations are not required! While there are several unscheduled events during the year, we tend to gather for three primary reasons - study and mutual support, service and fellowship.

Thursday Morning Bible Study and Speaker Series
On Thursday, September 6, 2012 the Men of St. Martin's group begins its weekly Bible Study and Speaker series. We start promptly at 7:00 AM in Bagby Parish Hall with a hot breakfast and time for fellowship. We will begin a year-long study of The Gospel of John, using the study guide by the Rt. Rev. N.T. Wright, John: 26 Studies for Individuals and Groups, which is available in the Bookstore & Gift Shoppe. Once a month, a featured speaker will come to share some aspect of his faith in daily living. We always end promptly at 8:00 AM. Parishioners always are encouraged to bring new friends and guests.

Regular Service Opportunities
When we gather at our weekly meetings, we always provide different avenues for the Men of St. Martin's group to serve in and through the larger St. Martin's family. Last year, our group made about 10,000 sandwiches for hungry kids in our community, through Kids' Meals. The Men of St. Martin's group also is encouraged to participate in mentoring opportunities at Lord of the Streets, Yellowstone Academy and as volunteers at Church Under The Bridge.

Social Gatherings While fellowship and fun are part of all of our gatherings, throughout the year we also host small and large get-togethers for deepening and strengthening our relationships with one another, and for simply having a good time! Like all Men of St. Martin's events, these are open to all men and their guests and are publicized throughout the year.
