Events so far - Dec 2006
In recent months, Moordown Baptist Church has seen the introduction of a men's group.
The reason being that many men outside of church think those of us that go to church are a bit odd and the thought of going to church does not particularly inspire them. So, we are moving out of our 'comfort zone' and organising simple social events for men from the church and their friends who do not go to church. Hopefully this will give us an opportunity to build on existing friendships and maybe make new ones - we might even convince some people that we're not that odd.
We have now had 2 events - 23rd November and 4th December. Both took place at Tower Park, Poole. We started with 10-pin bowling and then went to eat at Nando's and TGI Friday's, respectively. Both went really well. There was a great atmosphere and a wide range of bowling abilities on show. The meal after gave us all a chance to build friendships, as planned - once we had compared our scores :-)
There is a fantastic calendar of events lined up for 2007: go-karting, sea fishing, a curry night, New Forest walk and BBQ and more. If you live in the Bournemouth area (Christian or non-Christian)and think you might like to join us for some 'male-bonding' please visit the church web site for more details www.moordownbaptist.org.uk.
I am certainly going to be at as many events as possible - it would be great to see you there.
Bye for now!

Who are we?
Moordown Baptist Church Men’s Group
… exists to introduce as many men as possible, in the Bournemouth area, to the good news of Jesus Christ.
MBC Men’s Group is for men within the church and the men they know in their families, neighbourhoods, workplace and so on. We recognise that going to church is not very appealing for many men in our society and so we have planned a series of events for 2007 to provide a relaxed atmosphere for all men to enjoy a social activity and get to know each other: either strengthening existing friendships or making new ones.
All are welcome.
We are part of Moordown Baptist Church
Activities
The planned activities include go-karting, fishing, a New Forest walk and BBQ (with families), a visit to a local restaurant, quiz night and a curry night!
Calendar of events available on Web site.
To help with the organisation of events, please let us know if you wish to attend any of the events listed. To do so, please e-mail us at mike@moordownbaptist.org.uk. Or telephone 01202 777254.

We do operate an e-mail list to keep people informed of the latest news and upcoming events. If you would like to be added to this list please e-mail us at mike@moordownbaptist.org.uk

Hopefully we will soon have some photos from previosu events either here, on our Web site or maybe even both!
