At Crofton we run regular men's events including getting together over a beer or two each month. This happens down at "The Crofton" pub in Stubbington on the 4th Thursday of every month from 8pm. We also have curry nights, snooker nights and men's breakfasts (full English …. not croissants and cereal). Some activities have a Christian theme but some are just a way of making new friends, often involving a beer or two and almost without fail revolving around food (normally containing huge amounts of saturated fat). So if you are living nearby we would love to meet you. Whether you are a Christian or not, why not come and join us at “The Crofton” for a drink some Thursday night! We will be the noisy lot …!

Apart from the social side we are very passionate about introducing men to the real Jesus. Many people have the wrong image of Jesus.  Jesus was not a wimpy effeminate bloke as seen in most religious art … he was a carpenter but that didn't mean he made intricate furniture items like those featured on "The Antiques Roadshow".  A carpenter in those days was involved in major construction projects: the wood wasn't delivered to the site - you had to cut it down and plane it yourself! Jesus was very determined, willing to be controversial (especially with the established ‘church’ of the day) and he was hated by many people and was willing to die for the cause! The real Jesus was more Bruce Willis than Bruce Forsyth!

 Jesus is interested in all men, men like me and you. Following Jesus will provide you with the greatest challenge in your life.  Are you man enough to consider the claims of Jesus and allow him to be involved in your life?
