It has been an interesting and active spring for Disciple Men of Westville. After a very successful Sweetheart breakfast for our church ladies in February, the Sunday after Easter was a musical extravaganza. Hosted by Disciple men led by Fido Stevens our annual Men's Musical earned nearly $600 for the benefit of Camp Craig Springs Special Camp for Special People. With gratitude to the men and women of the church for refreshments following a full two hours of gospel music we all enjoyed musical talents presented to a near full house.

In April, two men went to the Regional Men's Conference at Wakefield's Airport Conference Center. The nearly 70 men from across Virginia were guided by Carl Zerweck, currently the Director of the DHM office of Disciple Volunteer Missions in 4 sessions of learning and sharing. I was personally honored to accept the nomination of President of Disciple Men for the Region of Virginia. We are currently negotiating with Phillip Gulley, well known author from Indianapolis to be our 2009 conference leader.

Westville's Disciple Men continue to host breakfast each second Saturday of the month. It is a time of food for the body and soul and all men are invited to attend. Breakfast is served at 8:30.

Upcoming .... hold the date! In July, On Saturday the 12th there will be a District 9 Disciple Men's Rally held at Rappahannock Christian Church.
