Sharing

Brothers read and discussed the passage from Matthew 10:35-42.  This passage is about priorities, commitment, and sacrifice, and what it means to give Jesus Christ first priority in our life.

Tuesday Night Prayer Conference Call Prayer Leaders

Pastor E recommended that the Prayer Leader for each Tuesday Night Prayer Conference Call would be selected each Tuesday from the brothers who call in to participate.

Young Men’s Outing

Fishing trip is still a possibility.  It was suggested that we explore the free Oriole baseball games that may be available to our youth through a program coordinated by Doc. Cheatham.  Bro. James Ashby will obtain contact info from Pastor Terrye.

During this discussion, comments were made concerning developing a mentorship program for our young men.  Deacon Briscoe mentioned that he was working on a mentorship program.  It was pointed out that we needed to use caution and should possibly begin with a “homework help” program.

“Bless Be The Tie” Necktie Fundraiser

Deacon Jack Briscoe and Bro. Kenneth Moore agreed to restart the necktie fundraiser on July 31 to clear out the ties on hand before seeking additional tie donations from men’s clothing stores.

Leaf Blower/Vacuum for the Church

Deacon Levert Moore sent a list containing descriptions and prices of various blowers/vacuums for consideration.  The brothers agreed to donate $20 each by the 3^rd Sunday in October (October 16) to purchase the blower for the Church.  We will decide on the brand and model to purchase at our next Huddle.

 Handicap Grab Bars in Men’s Room

Brothers agreed that grab bars should be installed in the men’s room.  We have to set a date and arrange for the installation to be done.

National Night Out

Brothers discussed the upcoming National Night Out on August 2, 2016 at Arlington Elementary/Middle School on Tuesday, August 2 from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M.  Volunteers were asked to be available at 5 P.M. for set-up.

Our closing prayer was offered by Bro. Kevin Muller.
