TMIY (That Man Is You!)
Year 4 ~ “The Vision of Man Fully Alive”
Wednesday’s ~ 6:00 am-7:00 am
Sunday’s ~ 6:00 pm-7:15 pm
“The Vision of Man Fully Alive” enables men to experience authentic freedom as sons of God. Through living the three-fold mission of abiding presence, joyful service and living sacrifice, their hearts and homes will experience the joy that God desires. To sustain them on their spiritual journey, the men will be led directly to the three spiritual foods that Christ himself proclaims: The Eucharist, The Word of God, and The Will of God. Learn more at tmiy.org and please join us for fellowship and faith filled conversation. We meet in St. John’s Meeting Room 144 in the west wing.
