Don't Do It Alone!

Welcome to CLPC Men's Blog.  First confession, I seldom update this blog.  It seemed like a good idea, but then the busy-ness (or is that business) of life kicked in....

Clear Lake Presbyterian Church has a fantastic men's ministry that is really compromised of several different, and overlapping, groups of men.  I highly recommend you get involved with one of them.  You never know what life is going to throw at you and it is good to be surrounded by a group of men you can count on when it happens.   That is the men's ministry in a nutshell.

We have groups that are great at praying, love to fish, enjoy golf, cycle, wood work, camp, and just about any other hobby you can think of.   We also all get involved in various service projects.

Oran Tarlton Memorial Adventure - Grand Canyon 2011

A group of men, spearheaded by Bob Webber (robert.g.webber@exxonmobil.com) and Vic Hirsh (who leads the Sunday AM mens class), are organizing a hike over labor day weekend.  The plan is to hike rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon over the weekend.  Several local hikes are planned to help train for this.  There are also different options to accommodate different levels of endurance.  This is a great way to get involved.  This specific weekend is in memory of Oran Tarlton.  Oran was a fantastic friend to many of us that lost his fierce battle with cancer earlier this year.     

Fishers of Men Camping Retreat 2011

Join us for all or part of this weekend at Brazos Bend State Park to encounter God in nature on this father/son camping retreat.  All ages are welcome, but space is limited.  Mentors are available for young men whose dads are unable to come.  Sign-up begins in March.  Register by March 20 (or March 13 for mentors).  RVers need to also reserve a spot (early!) with the park directly (512-389-8900).  Scholarships are available.  See Brochure/Registration Form for details. 
Contact Darren Lueking (281-334-0744 or darren.lueking@gmail.com) with questions.


If you need to get pointed in the right direction, just ask any of the pastors, or seek me out - Josh Strasner (Josh_Stras@yahoo.com).   Don't try to get through life by yourself, it's too hard.
