Calling all men of Jackson!

The first gathering will be the morning of January 8th at the First B building at 6 am. Week 10 and graduation will be the week immediately preceding Spring Break. I need guys to send an email if interested (colterhlane@gmail.com, or text 307-690-3685) so that I can begin to assign squadrons and leaders. However, we'll be able to plug folks in that morning or even the week following. 

• It's a commitment for 10 weeks. 
• Men split into squadrons of 5-8 guys to whom they are accountable for accomplishing weekly tasks.
• Four tasks are assigned on a weekly basis in the areas of Relational, Physical, Intellectual, and Spiritual. Weekly scripture memorization will also be a component. 
• There are guidelines to which each man commits for the 10 weeks.  
• Failure to accomplish a task during a week or slipping on the guidelines results in a strike. Three strikes and you don't graduate. One aspect of the Fight Club that makes it attractive to men is that not all who start will finish. Please know, however, that men who strike out will be treated with love, grace, and respect. They will be encouraged to take part in the remaining weeks and activities.

This study will meet from January 15th-March 18th from 12:15-1:15pm in Meeting at the Library at First Baptist Church.  Bring a brown bag lunch, a copy of the book, "Always Near - 10 ways to Delight in the Closeness of God" by Robert J. Morgan, and your Bible.  Please read Chapter 1 and 2 for our next meeting. Please sign up by texting Anne Stalker at 307-203-9526.  All are welcome!
