DCC Mighty Men of God - 2006 Father & Son Blowout

The Dream Center Campus had an amazing celebration last night for the Mighty Men of God ministry. We had 85 men and young men attend a night of worship, games, teaching and fellowship. This night was organized by campus pastor Bryan Melancon and his team of leaders who worked many hours to make this event huge. The theme of the night was "Fishers of Men." Scripture passages with references to being "disciples" and being "fishers of men" were posted throughout the church. We also asked the men to bring their sons with them. The night was a great success.

We had many first time visitors and gave away fishing poles, tackle boxes and even a fishing trip with Pastor Mark Stermer. Wayne Wemberly led the worship team to start out the night and set the tone for what would be a great night for our men. I did the announcements and encouraged the men to get involved in a few key areas:

- The Building on the Rock Ministry led by Kevin Lalonde. This ministry goes throughout the community of Donaldsonville every Saturday morning and performs home repair and maintenance for those in need. We really need 10-15 guys from anywhere to commit one weekend per month to helping the needy of our church community.
- Life University starts at DCC starting next Wednesday. This will be a tremendous opportunity to go deeper with God. We will have worship and then in depth teaching about growing in the Word of God.
- Free guitar and drum lessons at 3 p.m. every Saturday at DCC.

Pastor Mark taught about now being the time for the men of DCC to step up to take the church to the next level. The men were excited and encouraged by the message. After the message from Pastor Mark, the men enjoyed baked chicken and beans and some great fellowship.

The men's ministry of DCC will be having blowout meetings on the final Thursday of every month this year. The theme of the next event will be rolled out to our leaders the first week of April.
