Father’s Day and Men’s Ministries Day is right around the corner! Here are seven ideas for you to utilize in your own church.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Host a Men\u2019s Ministries Day<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Just like Mother\u2019s Day celebrates every woman, you can celebrate all of the men in your church, regardless of whether they have biological children or not! Since Men\u2019s Ministries Day is also Father\u2019s Day, work with your Men\u2019s Ministries director to plan a day that involves all the men in your church.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preach a Father\u2019s Day Sermon<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      IPHC Men\u2019s Ministries has provided a sermon outline entitled \u201cEquipping Men to Win\u201d based off of Ephesians 6:10-18. Feel free to download this outline and customize it to fit with your church! DOWNLOAD HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Utilize your Resources<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The men in your church are a great resource! Ask for volunteers to help with your Men\u2019s Ministries day. Be creative with new projects that men can get involved with.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Honor the Men<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Too often we see Father\u2019s Day used as a day to reprimand the men in the church; that they need to \u201cstep up\u201d and \u201cbe real men\u201d. Instead, take an opportunity this Father\u2019s Day to thank the men in your church for their hard work! Remember, they\u2019re there<\/em>. At church! That\u2019s an achievement on its own!<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Plan a Guy-Friendly Activity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If your Sunday morning service is already booked, host a special activity for Men\u2019s Ministries Day! A Men\u2019s Breakfast or cookout is a great way to include the men in your church and your community.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Give a Small Gift<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              If you can, a small gift is a great way to include all the men in your church. Even something as simple as a cookie would be appropriate. Another option would be to have a photographer set up a backdrop and offer free family and friend pictures.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Pray a Blessing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Whatever you may plan to do for your Men\u2019s Ministries Day, don\u2019t forget to include a time of prayer for your men at the end of your service. Pray a prayer of blessing over the men and include a time for them to pray over the next generation of men in your church, down to the youngest of boys. This would be a great opportunity to include your Boy\u2019s Ministry and Student Ministry leaders as well!<\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed hay siete ideas para que las utilices en tu propia iglesia.\r\n

                  \r\n \t
                1. Organizar un D\u00eda del Ministerio de los Hombres<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\u00a1Al igual que el D\u00eda de la Madre celebra a todas las mujeres, puede celebrar a todos los hombres en su iglesia, sin importar si tienen hijos biol\u00f3gicos o no! Ya que el D\u00eda de los Ministerios de los Hombres tambi\u00e9n es el D\u00eda del Padre, trabaje con el director de su Ministerio de los Hombres para planificar un d\u00eda que involucre a todos los hombres de su iglesia.\r\n
                    \r\n \t
                  1. Predicar un Serm\u00f3n del D\u00eda del Padre<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nLos Ministerios de Hombres de la IPHC han proporcionado un bosquejo de sermones titulado \u201cEquipar a los hombres para ganar\u201d basado en Efesios 6: 10-18. \u00a1Si\u00e9ntase libre de descargar este esquema y personalizarlo para que se ajuste a su iglesia! DESCARGAR AQU\u00cd<\/a> .\r\n
                      \r\n \t
                    1. Utiliza tus recursos<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\u00a1Los hombres en tu iglesia son un gran recurso! Pida voluntarios para ayudar con el d\u00eda de su ministerio de hombres. S\u00e9 creativo con nuevos proyectos en los que los hombres puedan involucrarse.\r\n
                        \r\n \t
                      1. Honrar a los hombres<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nMuy a menudo vemos el D\u00eda del Padre como un d\u00eda para reprender a los hombres en la iglesia; que necesitan \"intensificar\" y \"ser hombres de verdad\". En su lugar, \u00a1aproveche el D\u00eda del Padre para agradecer a los hombres de su iglesia por su arduo trabajo! Recuerda, est\u00e1n ah\u00ed<\/em> . \u00a1En la iglesia! \u00a1Eso es un logro en s\u00ed mismo!\r\n
                          \r\n \t
                        1. Planea una actividad amigable para los chicos<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nSi su servicio del domingo por la ma\u00f1ana ya est\u00e1 reservado, organice una actividad especial para el D\u00eda del Ministerio de los Hombres. Un desayuno o comida para hombres es una excelente manera de incluir a los hombres en su iglesia y en su comunidad.\r\n
                            \r\n \t
                          1. Dar un peque\u00f1o regalo<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nSi puede, un peque\u00f1o regalo es una excelente manera de incluir a todos los hombres en su iglesia. Incluso algo tan simple como una galleta ser\u00eda apropiado. Otra opci\u00f3n ser\u00eda que un fot\u00f3grafo establezca un tel\u00f3n de fondo y ofrezca fotos gratuitas de familiares y amigos.\r\n
                              \r\n \t
                            1. Reza una bendici\u00f3n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nIndependientemente de lo que planee hacer para el D\u00eda del Ministerio de Hombres, no olvide incluir un momento de oraci\u00f3n para sus hombres al final de su servicio. Haga una oraci\u00f3n de bendici\u00f3n sobre los hombres e incluya un tiempo para que ellos oren sobre la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n de hombres en su iglesia, hasta el m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o de los ni\u00f1os. \u00a1Esta ser\u00eda una gran oportunidad para incluir tambi\u00e9n a los l\u00edderes del Ministerio de Ni\u00f1os y al Ministerio de Estudiantes! \"W.A.<\/a> Bill Terry<\/strong> Asistente de direcci\u00f3n, Discipulado Ministerios<\/strong> Director,<\/strong><\/a> Ministerios Hombres<\/a> Coordinador Nacional, Desastres EE.UU.<\/a><\/strong> Bill se desempe\u00f1a como director de Ministerios de Hombres por la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad Pentecostal y el Coordinador Nacional de Desastres EE.UU.
