Fivestar Man Roundtable
We’ve launched a miracle!
The inaugural FSM Roundtable was an amazing experience. Let’s start with the reception. Could have been any better? The setting was spectacular at THE point of Point Clear, Alabama. The Kobe beef burgers were better than the usual cheese spreads at most receptions. The putting contest was a little disappointing for most. The fellowship that evening was a highlight, seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Some stayed late into the night sitting around the fire pit.
Tuesday, everyone awakened to a great day of weather for fishing and golf. Once again, the Grand Hotel staff did a great job on the food. I heard that the fishing excursion was a great experience.
Golf was interesting… let me just say, I need to do a better job of explaining the rules of our format. However, the ambiance of Lakewood Golf Club is second to none.
The Roundtable, hosted at Celebration Church of Fairhope went very well. Pastor Tim Simmons and his guys stepped up and worked hard on our behalf. Derek White supplied the fish and shrimp for the southern style seafood feast - I believe everyone would agree that it was a feast!
My hope was to communicate the vision and strategy of FSM. We wanted to get a glimpse of what is to come in the next few months. We need the content-providers to dive in with their gifts and abilities. We need Encounters to be scheduled. We need to begin to virally connect to hundreds of thousands of men. It is happening.
