2025 Men's Fall Fellowship at Pine Island
Friday & Saturday, October 24-25
From Pastor Tim Graham
Below are the fliers and the bulletin inserts for this year's MBA Men's Fall Fellowship. I am so excited to welcome our speakers, Jason Ormiston and Steve Brower as they speak on topics of men discipling men. Our dates are Friday and Saturday, October 24-25, 2025. I am eager to do my part, grilling 200+ sirloin steaks and smoking eight beef briskets!
Jason will speak on Friday night. His targeted theme is “Relational Disciple Making: Bearing One Another’s Burdens,” Galatians 6:1-10. Steve will speak on Saturday morning. His targeted theme is “Intentional Disciple Making: The Goal of Every Church,” Ephesians 4:11-16.
We will break up into roundtable discussions with each of them on Saturday morning with these assigned focuses: Jason Ormiston: Three Relationships Every Disciple Should Have. Steve Brower: Utilizing the “One Another” Passages to Shape Our Disciple Making Efforts
The schedule, as in other years, has plenty of time built in for fellowship and lots of down time to just enjoy the company of other men.
After lunch on Saturday, we have the following recreational breakout sessions:
Ice Fishing (Dan Gunderson)
Freeze Drying Foods and Snacks (Sam Vergin)
Deer Hunting with a Focus on New Deer Hunting Laws for 2026 (Rifle Use Expansion Incoming) (Scott Shultz)
Please register at www.cornerstonepi.org as soon as possible! As with other years, there is no deadline for registration, but we really appreciate having as much heads-up as possible so we have more than enough food. Every year we have enough for seconds of everything.
The recommended donation for registration fee is $15/man per day and $7.00 per youth per day or whatever you can afford for either. We do not want money to be a factor in keeping you away. If all you can afford is transportation to get here, that is sufficient. Please come and be our guest.
God bless you all as you make plans for your fall ministries to men. I hope that we can fellowship with you in this endeavor on October 24 and 25.
Thank you,
Tim Graham
