Rothley Church Men's Group (RCMG)

The aim of the RCMG is to offer the opportunity to all men to meet in fellowship: sharing and learning from life’s experiences and seeking to further develop their understanding of The Gospel and its relevance in today’s world. 

Next Event

The date of the next event is Monday 17th March when we are planning to have a Skittles evening at the Wheatsheaf, Thurcaston, starting at 7.30pm. I have paid for the hire of the Alley, so the event is confirmed.

Thank you to those of you who have committed to the evening. We currently have space for more men, so if you haven’t already responded to me, please can I encourage you to ‘sign up’ for this social event and please invite a male friend for what I sure will be a fun evening. 
If you would be interested in attending the Skittles, could you please let me know by email or letting me know by other means. Thank you in anticipation.
Future dates for your diaries are outlined on the leaflet. I am encouraged by the way the schedule for this coming year is shaping up and would encourage you to support the Men’s group this year.

The 'Men’s Breakfast’ group

We meet in the on a Saturday morning from 7:30-9:00am on the first Saturday of each month.. We enjoy a full English breakfastand spend time discussing a Bible passage and praying for one another. It is a chance for young men with bust work and family lives that would struggle to get to evening Bible studies to support and encourage each other as followers of Jesus Christ

To book a place at the next breakfast or to be added to the Men’s Breakfast mailing list phone or email Malcolm Cook. 

We hold occasional Breakfasts in the Old School Rooms and invite a speaker.

Rothley Church Men's Group (RCMG)

History

The group was originally named Men Behaving Acceptably (MBA) by the founders of the group, loosely based on a TV series at the time and intended to have several meanings (even academic!), but the informality of the meetings often bring a smile to the face of those who remember the TV sitcom with a slightly different title. Whilst maintaining the original objectives and style of the group it was renamed Rothley Church Men’s Group (RCMG) at the start of 2016. The group celebrated twenty years since its formation with a Twentieth Anniversary Dinner held on 21st October 2016 (see photo gallery), with guest speaker Right Reverend Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds. 

Established to bring the “blokes” together in our Church in 1995, the group was born to offer the opportunity for men to meet in fellowship: sharing and learning from life’s experiences and seeking to further develop their understanding of the gospel and its relevance in today’s world.
