m2m

We run a wide range of activities for men under the banner "m2m". 

Church can be hugely off-putting to men so our aim, as a group of guys trying to follow Jesus, is to try and make everything we do normal for men - so we meet in a pub, do active as well as thinking stuff, work around men's diaries, have loads of fun, do practical projects together and ensure we don't go hungry!

At m2m we believe that men need to know that they are God's agents to change the world - not as superheroes but as ordinary guys through whom God does extraordinary things - one step at a time.

Here are some of things we get up to...

Socialising

Guys organise all sorts of activities including mountain biking, football, curry nights, golf days, whiskey tasting, toy gear (scalectrix meets the XBOX), sea fishing, men-who-lunch, jogging, cricket ... to name but a few.

MWM

If you are around during the day then the MWM group run interesting monthly social events. To find out more and see the MWM program go to the MWM page.

Serving

m2m gets involved in fund raising for at least one charity each year. During 2010 we raised funds for the Catalyst Trust through entering a crew in the Abingdon Dragon Boat race and also for Prostate Cancer Research - through the participation of around 20 guys in the Movember campaign (moustache growing month!):

There are also opportunities to get involved in practical community projects - mainly gardening, painting, simple DIY, lifting and shifting. Not only do you really help someone else but you get to make new mates too.

Seeking

For men who are interested in finding more about following Jesus, or who want to reconnect with their faith, we organise a mini-Alpha course especially designed for men. We also hold an annual church service in June (around Fathers' Day) focused on men and arrange for some interesting and thought provoking speakers to talk about faith and life.

Strengthening

We need opportunities to encourage and support one another as we seek to live out our faith at home, work and in our community. We encourage men to 'double' with another guy to study the Bible, pray and engage with the stuff of life together. Every 2 months or so we run a Sunday evening Pit Stop - a time for men to re-fuel. During 2011 we are asking men to take The Challenge - to take one step forward in our walk of faith during 2011. Pit Stop dates for 2011 are: March 27th, May 22nd, September 4th, October 8th (away-day) and December 4th.

Since 2007 we have run three men's weekends which have been significant occasions in the lives of many men.
