Men's Prayer Breakfast
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
— Proverbs 27:17
An Unhurried Morning, Together
Long before the day finds its bearings — before the coffee has cooled or the sun has fully cleared the eastern ridge — a quiet company of men sets their elbows on a long table, bows their heads, and begins again. We meet on the third Saturday of every month for what we have come, simply, to call The Breakfast.
Bring an appetite. Bring a friend, or a son, or a neighbor who could use a good cup of coffee and an unhurried morning. There is a place for you, and a chair already pulled out.

— Our Guest at the Table —
Dr. Theodore “Teddy” Halverson
On the work of quiet men.
Teddy Halverson spent thirty-one years as a small-town family physician before turning, in retirement, to writing about the lives of men who keep ordinary promises in unremarkable ways. His most recent book, Steady Hands: Notes on the Long Faithfulness, was named one of the ten best volumes of devotional writing of last year by the Carmichael Review.
He will speak briefly — he insists on this — about the kind of courage that does not announce itself: the courage of showing up early, finishing what you started, and being a man whose ordinary word can be believed.

We always cook for more than show up. Still, a head-count helps the kitchen crew, and a hand-raised neighbor is half-the-battle. Tell us you're coming — and bring someone with you.

Questions Before Saturday?
Whether you've been with us since the founding plate of bacon was served, or you've never set foot in a church kitchen in your life — you are welcome. If you'd like to know more before you come, or if you'd like to bring a group and need to make special arrangements, just reach out.
Not at all. The breakfast is open to any man — member, visitor, neighbor, son, friend, stranger. The only price of admission is a willingness to break bread with the man next to you.
Just yourself, and an appetite. If you'd like to bring a friend, that's better still. The kitchen crew handles the rest.
The program is over by 8:30 sharp — we respect your Saturday. Many men stay a while after to refill their cup and keep talking. You're welcome to do either.
