About the Group

A welcoming Saturday gathering for men

Men from many backgrounds gather each Saturday morning for thoughtful discussion of the Bible, prayer for one another, and friendship rooted in faith. The group began in 1966 and has been meeting faithfully for nearly six decades, creating a long tradition of thoughtful conversation, encouragement, and Christian fellowship in the Menlo Park community. Each week a knowledgeable speaker leads a conversation on a passage of Scripture or a topic relevant to living faithfully today.
