Well the next Blokes Breakfast is on this Saturday 21st @ 8.30a.m. and I hear from our Chef Warren that it is going to be as great as usual.
We will have our missionary Kees Bootsma with us as a guest, so come along and meet him.
Our theme for the next series of breakfast are based on a book by Joan Chiitister called 'Scarred by Struggle, Transformed by Hope'. It's an excellent little read and is available at most Christian bookstores if you would like to read it. I know Pauline Books & Media, 150 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 has copies available.
We will also look at some of the timely discussions in the media such as gambling on Good Friday, shops opening on Easter Sunday and anything else which may be interesting.
Hope to see you all there.

The Degustation Breakfast
Well, last Saturday's Blokes Breakfast was indeed an occaision to remember. The Cooks Warren and Ian excelled themselves with 6 enjoyable and wonderful taste sensations. Warren particularly has been spectacular this year and we thank him (and Ian) especially for his efforts.
The idea of the Degustation Breakfast was linked diretly to the feast put on by the Prodigal Sons Father when he returned. This concept of valuing through hospitality is one which is embedded in the Gospels and in Jesus' concept of the Kingdom of God.
It is significant that his first miracle was at a feast and his last meal was at a feast - the Passover meal. Jesus bookended his ministry with hospitality and so much more of his teaching revolves around sharing or breaking bread with one another, typified in the Eucharist we share each time we ccelebrate it.
Last Saturday saw 26 men of all ages come for breakfast and stay for almost 3 hours, sharing a meal together and talking. And not just talking but sharing in a very real way.
What started out some 5 months ago as a traditional men's breakfast has developed into a monthly event, looked for and celebrated by all who attend.
It will be exciting to see what God will do with this event and the Blokes who attend in 2009!

Blokes Breakfast at St Judes
Well we had our first Blokes Breakfast at St Judes – well attended and a great breakfast. Some 20 Blokes attended and a great time was had by all. The topic was introduced as per last nights blog and was well accepted.
We are looking at this being a forum for men’s issues, an opportunity for fathers and young men to join and discover new ideas and ways forward and to set up weekends away, seminars and self-help programs for one another.
The next breakfast is Saturday 16th. All welcome
