Chasing Lions!
What if the life that you really want, and the future that God wants for you, is hiding right now … in your biggest problem … in your worst failure … in your greatest fear? To find out, and what to do about it, come chase lions with your brothers in Christ as part of the follow-through on Benaiah, the 2008 annual retreat conducted by the men of Sugarloaf United Methodist Church.
As we strap on Benaiah’s sandals and unsheathe his sword, we’ll learn seven lion-chasing skills (defying odds, facing fears, reframing problems, embracing uncertainty, taking risks, seizing opportunities, looking foolish) to help us become the sons, the brothers, the husbands, the fathers, the friends … the men that God created us to be.
The Sugarloaf Men’s Network invites you to join our “Lion Hunting Party” on Thursday evenings as we discuss Mark Batterson’s book, In a Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day. Bring your Benaiah table group, your small group, or just come and join the “hunt” from 7-8:30 p.m. on March 13th, March 20th, March 27th and April 3rd in the Worship Arts Center at Sugarloaf United Methodist Church, 1795 Old Peachtree Road, in Duluth. Coffee and soft drinks will be provided.
Books are available online or at local booksellers if you don’t already have one. But if you don’t have one, don’t let that stop you from coming; we’ll make do. We strongly believe that God is providing a great opportunity to strengthen both vertical and horizontal relationships, to build new relationships and to simply allow men to experience small-group accountability.
