Men @ breakfast
These special events occur three or four times a year on Saturday mornings at 9:00 am. We enjoy a full catered hot breakfast followed by a talk from a prominent member of the community. Recent speakers included Rector David Short and Rev. Dr. J. I. Packer.

Bishop Paul Barnett, July 4, 2009
Bishop Paul Barnett, well loved, well known, and highly regarded, is coming to teach a course at Regent College in early July and will be preaching at St. John’s for 3 weeks. He has agreed to do a men’s breakfast while he is here on Saturday, Jul 4 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. This is a rare opportunity for the men of our congregation to hear Bishop Paul and to interact with him. Bishop Paul’s topic will be, “Why I am still a Christian”. Cost will be about $15/person. Because it’s the summertime, we need to know how many men plan to attend so that we can give the caterers accurate figures by Friday 26 Jun. Please phone the church reception desk at 604.731.4966 ext 0 to sign-up.

Men @ 7:20
Expect breakfast, encouraging fellowship, prayer and stimulating Bible study.

We meet every Wednesday for breakfast from 7:20 to 7:50, we continue with a time of prayer between 7:50 and 8:00, and then Bible study from 8:00 to 8:30. We are currently working through the book of Luke.

Men @ prayer
These small discipleship groups meet once a week for 50 minutes at a time and place of their choosing. The time is organized as follows: 10 minutes informal discussion, 25 minutes discussion regarding prayerpoints (this can involve reflection on a recent sermon, a verse of scripture or perhaps a Bible study or other text), and 15 minutes of prayer. We explore three underlying themes:

• How does what I have heard in the sermon or read in the Bible impact my life?
• Is there any behaviour that I should commence doing or desist from?
• What requires prayer?
