Volunteers..............Priceless!

Monthly Breakfast Meetings for CCV Men have been occurring for about three or more years at CCV. We started out at a local diner with a few guys and then moved to the CCV office when the office was in a local strip shopping center.

After the new CCV Building opened we moved there and have been meeting there ever since. We have had events of varying attendance and I don’t think the size of the group has had much of an impact on the discussions or relationship building.

These meetings work because of the involvement and commitment of a number of guys who volunteer to help. The volunteers are just like the body as described in 1 Corinthians 12:21–31 where the parts are different but work together as one. And without one of the parts we struggle to achieve the desired result.

These guys don’t like to be recognized but I believe it is important to occasionally acknowledge the men who volunteer and work to make the event better. Here’s an alphabetical list:

Ernie Adams
Harry Chamberlain
Perry Corda
Mike Durkin
Bill Rinker
Ron Rouzer
Bill Shifflett
Jeff Whitebread

I am thankful for their help and encouragement. If you have attended a CCV Men – Breakfast event you should thank them for coming early to set up and staying after to tear down and clean up. If you don’t know them all personally you may recognize their names because they are involved in other areas at CCV.

Most likely they have greeted you when you attended and encouraged you either at a table discussion or in a discussion afterward. And you may have even developed a friendship with one or more of them.

We are a body and the men who volunteer to serve at the breakfast successfully exemplify this.

Gentlemen, we thank you!
