The Diocesan Anglican Men’s Association (Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador) held a gathering at St. Peter’s Church, Upper Gullies, on Saturday April 11th. It was hosted by the St. Peter’s Men’s Service Club, and was attended by 25 men from five parishes of the diocese. The Association’s purpose is to promote fellowship, faith, and good will among the men of the diocese.
Reports were made on some groups who meet weekly for fellowship, a meal, and to take part in various service projects. The discussion was inspiring, and while the group hopes to attract younger men into their midst, they are pleased to report that some good things are happening. The Association’s objective is to promote fellowship among men throughout all parishes, and they would be pleased visit or discuss the idea in greater detail with anyone interested.
On this occasion, the men took part in a meeting followed by a soup and sandwich lunch. Brian O’Connell, the well known radio personality, came and gave a very informative talk on his experience with prostate cancer, and the importance of early detection. The day ended with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The Association is planning another event in October. For further information contact DAMA President Gerry Budden at 709-744-1991, or email:
