October's Man2Man breakfast drew a multitude of men who munched on bagels and fruit (okay, donuts too!) as they listened to Senior Pastor Phil emphasize taking time to connect with God and each other, and then heard Pastor Nate talk about Jesus relationship with his Father and what that means for all men.
