FARRAGUT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH




And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another...

Men of the CHurch

Men Of the Church (MOC) Programs 

Two major activities strive to promote the spiritual growth and fellowship for the men of Farragut Presbyterian Church:  The Men’s Dinner and the Men’s Breakfast. 

MEN'S DINNER

On the First Monday of February, May, August, and November a dinner is held in fellowship hall.  Food is provided by a catering service and all attending help with the clean up.

Following the dinner a guest speaker addresses local mission, activities in our community, or a topic of general interest.  This low-keyed gathering enables the attendees to become better acquainted with one another, and get a bite to eat.

From time to take we take in a Smokies Baseball Game.  This summer event is always scheduled for a Monday, when we travel east to take in the ball game.  Besides enjoying cheering on the home team, Monday is the day hot dogs are one dollar.  That’s a deal hard to beat. 

MEN'S BREAKFAST

On the second and fourth Thursday of each month, at 8:00 a.m., we gather in fellowship hall for a “yummy” sausage biscuit (or plain if you prefer), juice, and coffee.  We share thoughts on a wide span of subjects:  travel, lessons learned in life, current home project, or – “there was a time when I . . ..”  There is also a short biblically-based lesson, reflecting on living the Christian life.  By 9:00 a.m. the dishes are washed and put away, and those attending are on their way knowing that Christ truly blesses everyone of us. 

OUTREACH

Annually the Men of the Church conduct a low-keyed fundraising campaign to support the Intern Program at the Presbyterian Center, located on the U T campus.  The goal is the raise $1,500.  The Intern Program provides peer support for the students at the Presbyterian Center.  The interns work to fulfill the mission of the PC, which includes providing a setting in which one’s Christian faith can be explored through worship, study, outreach, and fellowship.  Interns bring a special dimension to campus ministry because they can relate to other young adults as social equals.
