When I got home last night (too late to do any more grading), I got to thinking about men's ministry again. There seems to be a new crop of showy, commercial attempts to fill this gap in church life (Promise Keepers is only the most visible). Lots of products for sale, mainly books and conferences.
I looked through the websites for several Mansfield churches, and, as I expected, They all have something special for kids and many have something special for women, but men's groups are rare. I only found one or two. It's tempting to visit those churches and find out what they've got.
(Slightly off the subject: back in the Youth for Christ days, we had a good handful of high school ministries going, mainly attended by guys. Even that group fell into the children's ministry trap, and ended up focusing on inner-city children below ten years old, totally forgetting the high school ministry—except for the prison ministry part of YFC.)
