| Men's Ministry This is a cooperative Men’s Ministry program between Incarnation Lutheran Church and Our Savior’s Lutheran Church (Circle Pines, MN) by and for men of all ages. This is not an organization one has to join; all men are encouraged to participate in as many events as they wish, and some events are open to all in the congregation. The purpose of this ministry is to foster life enrichment by providing opportunities to grow in faith and knowledge, to connect meaningfully with other men, to instill empowerment to serve the Lord, to promote opportunities to use skills and gifts and to invite others into the community of the church fulfilling an abundant life. The focus is living and serving by faith and striving for significance rather than the world’s measure of success. Connecting Programs Saturday Breakfasts Usually on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., September through April. This is a great opportunity to connect with other men, have breakfast, and hear great speakers on topics of religion, history, current world topics, sports, etc. Men of all ages are invited to these programs. Specific Dates & Topics for 2007 will be posted as they are scheduled.
