MEN'S WEEKEND 2025
Are You In? is this year's theme for the 23rd Annual Men of Grace (MOG) Weekend.
The group will return to Westerly RI, and stay beachside at the Pleasant View Inn. We'll get things started with dinner on Friday evening at 6:30pm, although many of the guys like to come up earlier that afternoon to enjoy the beach and venue before dinner.
A great weekend is planned with activities, sports, competitions, small group discussions, testimonies and lots of time to unwind. If you have never attended, ask someone who has as it's a great time, as well as a compelling purpose driven weekend.
We hope you'll join us Friday 9/26/25-Sunday 9/28/25, and for any questions call/text Community Director Bo Beatty at (203) 994-8102.
This Sunday, Elder Tom McCrossan, Frank Milano, and Ian Knechtle invite you to participate in a 7-week discipleship class on Ephesians. As a unified, multi-ethnic family in Christ, the group will discuss God’s glorious plan to grow us in our faith and understand how Christ provides the toolbox to do so, equipped by the Holy Spirit. Join them after the service!
