Men’s Breakfast
If you happen to be walking past Holy Trinity Church in Bolton-le-Sands on the second Saturday of the month and see a stream of men making their way into the church at 9.00am you will be forgiven if you think that it is a gathering of some secret society, an early morning screening of a game with the top football, rugby or cricket teams, the “Every Man Needs a Shed” society or something else that would attract men to go into church.
Traditionally church was not a place that men felt welcomed. Women went to church for Mothers Union or CWL or another coffee morning. It was also seen as a place to take the children for the weekly battle where they were obliged to sit still, not fidget and keep quiet.
Mens Breakfast is none of these. We get together over a cup of coffee, or tea with a bacon butty and “sort out” the world. It is not a service and we don’t use words like “fellowship” which suggests some deeper religious motivation. It is simply a get together.
There is often a theme, which rarely gets any deep conversation. We occasionally have a speaker who is limited to 10 minutes so that we can get on with the main reason for being there, catching up. There is no age barrier. We are not exclusive and welcome any man of any faith or no faith. It is not a religious gathering.
We are not all Christians and often have men who are visiting the area just “popping in”. We are a very welcoming group.
So if you are at a loose end on the second Saturday of the month and perhaps have been to the paper shop for the weekend’s read come in and have a cup of coffee and a bacon butty. It is better to get there at 9.00am as any bacon butties left over at 9.15 get dished out for seconds.
There is no charge but most people make a donation to cover the cost of the refreshments.
