Celebrating Men's Work in the Church: Making a Difference
    Now more than ever the concept of making a difference looms large in our collective psyche. Experts on the environment tell us our planet is past its "best before" date. We seem to live in a world of permanent war. The gap between rich and poor increases. Jesus calls us to make a difference in the world and to never tire of doing right. As One That Serves (AOTS) has been dedicated to making a difference and getting things done for the past 88 years. Come and Join us for this weekend of friendship and spirtuality as AOTS celebrates men's work in the church and looks forward to expanding men's ministry through a spirit of servant leadership.
