Men In Mission

The "Men In Mission" Group meets every third Saturday morning each month. This is a group of (multi-denominational) Christian men who meet to enjoy fellowship while preparing and eating breakfast. Don't wait for an invitation just show up at Luther Hall south of the Church between 6:30 and 7:30 AM. on the third Saturday. Food is served at 7:30 AM.


Wood Working Projects:


About once a year the men interested in woodworking get together to build items for nonprofit organizations like the Church Youth Camps, etc. In the past, the men constructed bunk beds, tables and swings. Even if you can't swing a hammer very well, there is lots of holding, fetching, and tasks you can help with to make the project go faster.

This years project was 10 picnic tables for the childrens camps. Table building day was Thursday March 22 at 8:30 AM at Oscar Abbott's place west of Moulton. The group finished 10 tables in 3.5 hours or one table every 21 minutes. These were 8 foot tables with benches. The men give a big thanks to Oscar for the advance planning which resulted in zero material waste and to Pat Abbott for the drinks and food which kept the project going.

Spaghetti Supper:

In the spring and fall, the men (with the help of the women) sponsor two spaghetti plates to go as money making projects. A $6.00 Donaton per meal is collected. Beginning at 5 PM until 6:30 PM the takeout meal consisting of spaghetti/salad/dessert is ready for the public. The proceeds provide money for scholarships, vacation bible school, donations to groups like the local fire department, etc.

(Besides the money collected, the men just like to get together to cook and give each other advice on how it could be done better.)

The ladies are a big part of the success of the Spaghetti Sale. The ladies group prepares the bread, the cakes and fills the plates.
