Men’s Fraternity
Tuesdays at 7pm | Thursdays at 6am
This fall we’re studying Drew Hunter’s Made for Friendship: The Relationship That Halves Our Sorrows and Doubles Our Joys (Book Link). Together we’ll explore God’s design for true friendship and how it leads to deeper joy and stronger faith. Two groups will be offered for this study so you can choose the time that works best for you. No registration required—just come when you’re able and be part of the conversation.
