Grow (a mustache to raise awareness of men’s health issues)
Give (to our fundraiser with the Movember Foundation)
Gather (with other men from parish throughout the month)

Be prepared to see a few extra mustaches around The Chapel of the Cross in November. A group of men within the church are planning to sport the extra facial hair in support of “Movember”. Movember is a yearly event where participants grow mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, both physical and mental. According to the CDC, 1 in 10 men experience some form of anxiety and depression, but less than half seek treatment. The “Movember Crew” within COTC will be a step towards strengthening fellowship and creating space for discussion. We’ll also host three events for the men of the church over the course of the month.

– Saturday, November 4: Walk/Run at the Bolin Creek bike path; Meet at community park to walk/run at 8 a.m., and/or meet up for coffee at Cafe Driade at 9 a.m.
– Monday, November 13 7:30 p.m.: Meet at the church to chat with other men around issues of faith, spirituality and mental health
– Thursday, November 30: St. Andrew’s Feast and Shave Party: 7 p.m. Evening Prayer in the Chapel; 7:45 p.m. Shave our ‘staches; 8:15 p.m. enjoy fellowship and drinks out on Franklin St
