Nov 14th - Men's Campout & Breakfast Event Details (all ages welcome)

Fathers and sons and men one and all... meeting at Mt Samsonvale for a special campout under the stars on a beautiful private property.

Woodfire Pizza dinner, dessert and star gazing with the giant telescope.

UPDATE:

With the weekend now upon us and the weather essentially "locked in" the team have chatted, and we are having to tweak our event to make it a success. It's what we do... we are men and we will make it a success for the family of brothers, whatever it takes. Just because it's raining, doesn't mean we need to cancel. We've produced a fantastic plan which I know if we all lean in, we'll not only enjoy it, but I also think we're going to make some amazing memories, deeper connections and enjoy the weekend regardless.

Note: We have 85 men registered for this event, so let me encourage you again, despite the tweak to the event, please still lean in as I know we will have a wonderful time together.

FRIDAY:

6:30pm - arrive at Emerge Church Warner

Pizza, drinks & hangs, table tennis, 9 square, french cricket, other activities.

8pm - dessert and a testimony interview.

9pm - hot drinks & more chats & more fun.

9:30pm - movie night.

SLEEP AT CHURCH - bring your camping mattress or swag and we'll set up in the auditorium. Camp out under the House of God... (OR feel free to head home and come and join in again in the morning). I will personally be sleeping at church as will Dave and the other staff, so let me encourage you to make the most of this and enjoy a good old "sleep over"...

CAMPING - If you want to camp at the church, feel free to do so with your camper trailers or tents, but the auditorium we feel will be a much more enjoyable experience and we'll all still get to enjoy the event we'd planned.

SATURDAY: (bring good shoes and water and sun protection)

6:30am - leave church or home to head to "The Farm".

7am - brekky at "the farm": 30 Wills Close, Samsonvale

8am - walk and talk. A 6km "steepish" walk with a testimony at the Summit. 4x4 provided for those who can't walk due to health.

11:30am - pack up and leave.

COST: $25 for the dinner, $15 for the brekky (kids under 10 free). The cost was to cover the food and toilet hire for the property, so this will still be needed.

SPREAD THE WORD!

THE WALK:

The property is situated at the base of Mount Samsonvale. The track is a 6km round trip on a steep, grassy / dirt road. It is a pretty constant climb not dissimilar to Mt Beerburrum.

This walk will not be for everyone due to it's length and grade but the good news is that we do have vehicle access also. Which means that we can pile people into a couple of 4Wds to get them to the top in comfort of needed.

WHAT TO BRING:

1. Yourself
2. Your father/s, son/s, friends and anyone you can find who's a man
3. Camping mattresses and sleeping gear...
4. All personal items, clothes, towel, etc.
5. Good walking shoes
6. Water, water bottles
7. Head lamp and other lights
8. Sunscreen
9. Bible
10. Fun things to do

Aug 2nd - ADVANCE Men's Conference with Marty Manuel

Our annual biggest men's event of the year... LOCK IT IN!

"Yes, come!", Jesus said in Matthew 14:29 to Peter as he encouraged him to come to him walking on the water. Despite the storm, despite the fear, despite the peer pressure, despite reality, Peter stepped up, stepped out and walked on water. God is wanting us to advance, not retreat, not sit down, not shrink back, but advance. His Kingdom come, His will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. We need to advance the Kingdom of God in every area of our lives and it is our prayer that this conference will inspire you, equip you and rally us all as we ADVANCE the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!

ECMs Mighty Men.

Our vision is for men to walk intimately and securely with God. Living a life dedicated and devoted to the lifestyle of Jesus. Walking in the spirit, not by might nor by power. For them to journey knowing who they are in Christ and thereby fulfilling their purpose. Standing together and supporting each other to impact their communities. Reaffirming that they are mighty men of valour, inspired by God knowing that He will never leave them nor forsake them.

When: We meet monthly on a Thursday night, generally 3rd week, announced in the Sunday announcements, for a men's dinner. It's a time of encouragement from the word as we spend time in discussion and discipleship.

Time: 7pm

Cost: By donation.

Contact: Wim Van Veen - 0417723441

It can be tough for men to live lives of integrity in a highly sexualised world.

Valiant Man is a program designed to fortify and restore the moral and spiritual integrity of men living in such a world.

The course runs for 10 weeks and costs $50pp (includes all course material... cost an issue - talk to us).

If you’d like to join us on this journey, we’re starting on Tuesday the 25th of February.

'In the room option' - Meet at Morayfield for a 7pm sharp start (doors open 6:45pm) - runs until 8:45pm.

'*Online option' - *If you can't make one or 2 of the meetings due to work, etc, you'll be able to meet online via a secure video conference to participate with the 'in the room' participants. You will be hosted by one of the team to ensure it is of the highest level of value. You will NEED to be in the room though for weeks 1, 2 & 8 as a minimum due to the content of those weeks.

Commitment: You must be able to join from week 1 and commit to the work or you will need to wait until we run the course again. Week 1 is paramount for the course to be successful. In addition to the weekly time together, there are daily devotions that are led by Dr Allan Meyer via an email that will come to you across 63days. These devotions add to the success of the course. It takes this long to retrain you brain and for the life change to take its full effect.

This is a serious commitment to your discipleship and is not for the casual heart.

For more information, please chat to Al Bukuya or Pastors Joe, Chris or Hendrico.

REGISTRATION: Register below...

Complete the form below if you are keen to commit to this course and we will send you an invoice for the resources to be printed and made ready for you at our first week together.

Future courses: Our next course will run in 2025 semester 2 in Redcliffe and then at Warner in 2026 Semester 1.

NOT SURE IF YOU WANTED TO JOIN...

Here is a link to a 17 minute introduction to the Pleasure Centre by Dr Allan which will help encourage you to the need for this course as it gives a brief overview of the value of the course. You could also use this as an evangelistic outreach tool to invite a man to come and do the course with you. It's a great video!
