On June 18th the Arizona Christian Men’s Basketball Association and St. Paul United Methodist Men held its third men’s fellowship and open gym.
In honor of Father’s Day, the men were encouraged to bring their sons, nephews, and any other 13+ boys that might benefit from being around men trying to lead by example. The event was attended by men from ages 13 to 64. It was the largest group to date. In addition to young men, the event was attended by spouses, and families. One family had three generations in attendance.
After a brief overview about AZCMBA and its mission to promote men’s health education, prevention and early detection, founder Barney Hilton Murray shared the importance of men taking responsibility for their health and the impact it could have on the family.
Jamie Harwick, the men’s leader of St. Paul United Methodist Church, shared a passage from the “Man in the Mirror” in keeping with the Father’s Day theme.
Pastor Otis Brown, from the Siloam Freewill Church gave the “Men’s Minute” and talked about the men leading by example and being careful to keep our anger in check. Pastor Brown lead the prayer and prayed a blessing over the men, families and the event.
