Moleskin:

All Pax worked hard today in the cold (Reminder that F3 still meets on cold days). There was good coffee talk at Coffeeteria. Topics included whether Jersey Boy was a Saint or not; our dogs; classic cars (and yes a Fiero GT (don’t forget the GT) is indeed a classic car; and Blackbeard (because who doesn’t talk about Blackbeard when he’s not present?).

 

Prayer Requests

-Unspokens in all F3 circles

-Prayers for Jersey Boy who lost his best friend over the weekend in Florida. Reminder to remember to do your estate planning (for your family’s sake)

-Prayers for Roadie’s extended family with a recent loss they had.

Prayers for Canuck’s wife’s extended family members who have a 5YO (Cade) with a tumor who is having to begin treatment soon.

-Emmaus will begin focus on 2024 YE close out and then beginning to establish goals for 2025 and Q1. Goals may include (but obviously not limited to): Spiritual Growth; Mindset; Emotional; Physical; Relational; Environmental (your domain); Finances; Business/Professional; & Leadership Growth. You do not need to have a goal for each (just focus on 3-5 for 90 days at a time to maximize results).

-MQ’s are still needed for a few AOs beginning in January. DM Toby if you are interested.

 

Reminder:

The F3 mission statement is “to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership”. 

F3 5 Core Principles:

Workouts …

• Are free of charge
• Are open to all men
• Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
• Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
• End with a Circle of Trust

There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.

Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one.

Until next time…
