Men’s Breakfast - October 2023

On Saturday 21st October we hosted another Men’s Breakfast at St John’s attended by over 30 members of the congregation and friends with an age range of 17 to 72!

Hosted by Ben McGarvey and David Nye, we had an amazing time enjoying a full cooked breakfast together. Our guest speaker was Edward Badu, who shared a bit of his story about growing up in Tottenham as a young black man at the time of the riots in 2011. He spoke about his experience working as an estate agent, and how his Christian faith helped him discover a calling to community organising and youth mentoring.

After Edward had shared, there was some time for questions and responses. We learned a bit more about Ignatian spirituality and how we avoid toxic masculinity in contemporary culture.

It was an excellent morning with many asking when the next breakfast will be.
