Everybody knows that men like to eat! So, ask the brotherhood committee to bring the men of your church together for a once a month or quarterly dinner and fellowship. The dinner/fellowships can be held approximately one hour after your morning service has ended. Every man who attends the dinner/fellowship should pay for, or bring a food dish from home or a deli. This way, there is no expense to the church.

HERE WAS OUR RESULTS: “After these ongoing events were announced, men came from everywhere! Everyone helped with the clean up and most stayed to play checkers, have biblical conversations, pray, plan, or watch sports TV. Men got better acquainted with one another and there were many young men to mentor. Even some women began to make dishes once a month for the group!”

Here’s how it’s done:

Set a date and advertise well for these events.

Create a items checklist for men to bring.

Don’t forget to have casual events planned after the dinner is over, such as watching a sports game in the men’s lounge, or having a speaker who will give a brief talk on men’s issues, etc
