First Men commentary — BEING REAL"Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow." - Reed Markha'm “Recently I yelled at my daughter, really yelled. It was after a hard, frustrating day at work and she had just done something that needed correcting. However, a split second after I yelled at her and saw the reaction on her face, I knew I was wrong. She ran to her room and I knew I needed to apologize. I felt horrible for letting my temper get to me so easily. But I swallowed my pride, went to her room and humbly apologized for my actions. I was then able to rationally talk about the real issue and parent her in a much better way. More importantly, even though I ‘messed up’ initially when I yelled, by admitting my mistake to her I was able to show her how she should expect to be treated later in life.
Fathers, we don’t want our children to grow up thinking that they should allow themselves to be treated poorly. We need to model for our children how they should expect to be treated by others and how they should treat others. No man is perfect, but he can' First Men are all men who attend First United Methodist Orlando. If you want to try to bear more fruit of the spirit and become a better man, husband or father, join First Men as we gather for Bible study and fellowship. ContactFirstMen@FUMC-Orl.org.

We are an all inclusive men’s ministry which encompasses the entire adult male membership at First Church Orlando. If you are a member of First Church, you are a member of First Men. We are also open to all men seeking Christ.
First Men is a movement started September 2008 and has grown exponentially since then because it is an idea which time has come. Our purpose is to call and equip men to live closer to Jesus while engaging in great fellowship with each other. We know God wants to change the world through the men in our church and we have the tools and resources available to accomplish our purpose.
“Being Real” is a challenging slogan to most men and we don’t take this lightly. Our Wednesday morning bible group is a mix of all ages and each of us has the opportunity to facilitate a session. We offer a continental breakfast and vibrant discussions. We meet at 7:30 AM until 8:30 in room 307 of the new Wesley building. Contact FirstMen@FUMC-ORL.ORG for more information. We are calling each of you to be an active part of this winning movement.
An additional small group of "First Men" was started and has been meeting at a different time, on Sunday's 4:30pm to about 5:30pm. in room 308 of the Wesley building. The Sunday group will be on vacation for the Smmer and its resumption will be posted here when the restart date is determined. Contact FirstMen@FUMC-ORL.ORG for more information.

ROUGH CUT MEN
"Rough Cut Men, a movie trailer experience, This presentation by David Dusek, founder of Rough Cut Men, uses relevant movie clips and shares stories about issues that affect all men in their daily lives. David’s message is based on the Bible, current issues and testimonies.
"The purpose of ROUGH CUT MEN is really simple...to get your men to begin engaging with one another in an authentic and transparent way." Through the use of major motion picture clips from “Saving Private Ryan”, “The Gridiron Gang”, “Armageddon” and even “Shrek” and “Over the Hedge” to name a few, your men will come away realizing that they are not the only ones going through challenges. They will be equipped to deal with those challenges and encouraged to “walk through life” with another man, as David and Jonathan modeled in 1 Samuel" ...David Dusek
