Prayer Room  - Bill Brennan

  The Prayer Room is where our morning and our day should and  does 

  start. We encourage the men to join us at 6:30 to  6:45 A.M. for prayer.   

  We believe that God is pleased to have us begin our study in this way.

  We ask God to be with us in our fellowship, the Table Studies, and for the

  Table Leaders to teach the Word with the guidance of`the guidance of the

  Holy Spirit. Please come early and join us here.

  Welcome Table  - Roland Crevier

  This Welcome Table begins your morning with a smile and a handshake.

  It is my pleasure to meet and greet you and to provide you with current

  information on this study as you pick up your nametag..

  This study sets you in the right frame of mind to start your day. I am glad

  to be a part of this study and to excersize my spiritual gifts to help others

  to grow in faith..

   I  run the Introductory Table. This table introduces first-timers to the

  study and explain the history behind us, and how this  Study can help

  you to grow spiritually.  I will then recommend a Table that will best fit

  your Christian walk.  The following week you can continue on in that

  Study table, or another of your choice.

  We hope you will find this study to be a welcome weekly blessing to your

  walk of faith. The fellowship of the men here will be an encouragement

  and a support structure that will help you to grow in Christ.

  Genesis - Richard Pinkos

  I receieved Jesus as my Savior on July 26, 1984. I have attended this study

  on a reguler basis ever since. A key verse of Scripture for my life has been

  Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your

  own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make

  your path straight"

   I am leading the study of the book of "Genesis". This name means 

   "beginnings",and true to its name descibes the beginning of all we know

   and liveby in the western world. It describes the creation of the world,

   the creation of man,the purpose of God for mankind, the first law, the

   first sin, and the fallenness of man because of sin. It gives the first

   prophecy of Jesus theSavior of mankind.

   This is an active study that answers many of the questions that arise with

   anyone inquiring into the foundations of our faith. Come and join us in

   our study of God's Word.

 Philippians - Mark Lussier

  I began attending in the Fall of 1988.  I had just moved back to Western 

  Massachusetts when Bob Allen, who knew my Dad, invited me to join his

  Men’s Bible Study group at the YMCA at  7AM on Wednesday

  mornings.  At first, I balked at the thought of getting out of bed in the

  morning an hour earlier than usual, to get to a Bible study in Springfield. I

  have found after attending for the past 18 years, I eagerly look forward to

  meeting with God and my brothers in Christ each week.  The Word of

  God has been used to instruct, correct, rebuke, and train me in   

  righteousness, due in large degree, to God’s faithfulness to meet me each

  week along with the other faithful men who have studied with me over these

  many years.

  We will soon be studying the book of Colossians. This challenging book

  dares us to live as Christ expects from us. In it, the apostle Paul gives us

  strong evidence for the deity of Jesus. He also stresses the need to fulfill

  our God-given roles as family members and in our workplace.

  Col 5:1 - If ye be risen with Christ, seek those things which are

  above, where Chrst sitteth at the right hand of God. Set your

  affection on things above, Not on things on the earth.

  Acts  - Mike Gallarani

  I lead the Book of  Acts Table. I am taking the skills I have learned here

  and in my years as a Christian, and am now helping others to grow through

  this great book about the early church.

  This particular book that is written by the same writer as the gospel of

  Luke, tells us all about the "How" of early church practice. He covers

  the life and times of the people who knew and had walked with the Lord 

  Jesus. He speaks clearly to modern world about what is expected of

  believers today.

 Acts  - Rene Bonneau

  I co-lead lead the Book of Acts Table. I too, have been a part of this

  study for many years, and find that this Study helps me in the growth of my

  faith. It gives me opportunities for evangelism in my workplace, as well as

  co-leading this Bible Study Table. Taking part in this study has been a most

  satisfying part of my spiritual growth.

  James - Robert Allen

   This very practical book of James will challenge

  even the most faithful man to examine his walk with God.

  It is filled with urging us to measure ourselves in our

  attitudes toward sin and in our responses to the people in

  our world.

  He is very clear on the root cause of sin that comes in

  to us through lust of the flesh.  He shows us how to live

  in this world with a faith that is firmer because we live

  out the life God commands all Christians to be doing.

  As we walk by faith, our actions bring glory and praises

  to God and shows the world how Christianity is

  supposed to be lived out.
