Blokes, Mates and a Tasty Thai Feed

It was all about connection, conversation and building friendships as the Wynnum Men’s Fellowship Group met for a relaxed feed at Absolute Thai in Wynnum last Wednesday. While its usually all about the blokes, the group regularly invites partners and friends to join them for a slap up feed while supporting a local business.

Nick and Chris from St Paul’s are regulars in the group but it was an excellent opportunity for Fr Andrew to meet folk and drag Mark Austin along for moral support…. we think an unsupervised Thai meal which involved rarely allowed curry puffs was part of the appeal for Mark. Healthy appetites meant food didn’t stay getting cold on the plates too long!!

We appreciated the efforts of the warm and efficient staff in providing us with tasty delights and kept us hydrated while introductions, chats, catch ups and connections were made. Nick shared an engaging passage from their latest study book “Heaven All Around Us” that emphasised the sacredness of meals and table fellowship. There are plans afoot for the next Advent themed focus book… always a good start to bounce thoughts, questions and experiences.

It was great to hear about men sharing the ups and downs of life and to meet some of the amazing partners that share all that too. An inspiring gathering of folk from different churches and different life experiences all about supporting each other in a bloke friendly space.
