February 19, 2007 - Greetings all! I would like to take a
minute and say thanks to all of you who attended the
assembly in Seguin this past Saturday and elected me
the president of the organization. I promise you I will do
my best to make sure that our Men's Ministry remains
visible in our synod. Toward that end I am focusing on
finding representatives from the Austin and Victoria
Conferences so that we might spread the word in those
areas. I also hope to make the Century Club an
important piece of our ministry and of course will also
make sure the Swings for Seniors remains a vital part of
our ministry. If you have questions or ideas please do
not hesitate to share them with me. My address and
phone number are listed on the Leadership Page. Take
care and God Bless!
