Dear First Pres, 

    Iron sharpens iron. When I think of the relationships I have, I am grateful for the men of FPC that have had such a strong impact on my life. Men that have leaned into my faith life and helped me to grow; men that have been mentors and counselors about work issues; men that have helped me to become a better father and husband. These men have been faith leaders, role models, ministry partners, friends and pals. They have been a part of my life and have influenced my sons as well.
    I met many of them at various FPC men's ministry events over the years: men's conferences, mission service projects, men's Bible studies and weekly breakfast groups.  All of these activities drive relationships, and through them, I've met the guys I fish with, go to car events with, iron sharpen with.
  I'm personally excited about growing FPC's men's ministry in the coming year. More often than I would like, I hear guys say, "I don't have any friends like that." Some guys are shy and some are just not good at friendship. Some guys just prefer their own company (good luck with that!). Wherever you are, I encourage you to participate in the upcoming men's events at FPC. There's a BBQ & Ballgame Saturday, Sept 15 & a Breakfast Thursday, Oct 18.
   We all need pals to go through life with, and we at FPC are blessed to be surrounded by such great men. 

See You There,
Skip Lynn
