The date is the same, 19 November, but the venue has changed. Steve Erdmann suggested that we keep the “walk” idea but move the location to St. Peter School. Each man will be in a different classroom that Jacob was in during his years at St. Peter School, and the walk will be from room to room. This does a number of things: it removes the effect of bad weather, it allows us to do the walk then progress right into the ceremony in the Sanctuary, and it provides additional symbolism with the parallel of going from grade to grade to growing from boy to man. Pastor Micah Greiner is supportive of this idea, and we are in the process of making it happen.

Mary Jo has the Sanctuary reserved from 1 pm to 4 pm. The number of men who can participate will dictate the start time. I will limit the ceremony to no more than 1 hour, so by starting the ceremony at 3 pm we will be finished by 4 pm. That gives a max time of 2 hours for the wisdom and council of Godly men. Please email to let me know if you plan to participate. The best case would be 12 men, in which case we will have 10 minutes each.
