Over the past several years the Men's Prayer Group has met for an hour and a half on the first and third Saturdays of each month. The group has collectively decided that these regular meetings will be discontinued in favor of a more open agenda that stresses service within and beyond Trinity. A new group, which presently consists of the original active members of the Men's Prayer Group, has now been formed. It is called the Men's Service in Christ Fellowship (MSCF).
In the spirit of the fourth Mark of Discipleship (service at and beyond Trinity), the MSCF envisions a group of men from TLC, regardless of age or ability level, teaming in various service needs of the congregation as well as in selected external projects. The fellowship will meet from time to time, most likely for breakfast or lunch, to discuss and plan projects of interest. These meals may also be in conjunction with an actual service project that the MSCF has selected to do. It is hoped that the leaders from other ministries within TLC will call upon the MSCF for help and assistance, as might be required, in the projects they are responsible for. For example, the MSCF can assist in TLC property cleanups, the Annual Yard Sale, or Sound Room duties. Some external service projects that the MSCF will likely be involved with include helping the local Food Bank and Habitat for Humanity. Each activity will have a leader or coordinator from the MSCF.
The MSCF membership presently consists of less than ten men; we clearly need more! As a new ministry, it cordially asks all able-bodied men of TLC to sign up as a member. This will place your name on the roster and a list for e-mailed messages regarding MSCF projects. There will be no obligation on your part to participate in all of the projects; you are free to pick and chooose those that seem interesting or appropriate for your time and talents. A sign-up sheet will be placed in the Narthex, or if you wish, you may e-mail your intent to be a member to either Doug Perkins (Cymru87@verizon.net) or Jerry Lauchle (GCL1@psu.edu).
