Our Purpose
The Presbyterian Men's Group strives to bring all the men in the church together in an atmosphere of fellowship, fun, food and worship. It is our hope that by gathering together and getting to know each other, we will be able to better serve God, Second Presbyterian Church, and our fellow man.
Weekly Meetings
Friday Morning Prayer Breakfast
Each Friday 6-10 men meet together in Price Hall at 7 a.m. for breakfast, Bible study and prayer. The meeting ends promptly at 8:00 a.m. so that everyone can arrive at work on time. The men rotate the breakfast cooking duty. The breakfast is open to all of the men in the church. The group has been meeting faithfully since 1998. Be a brave and hardy soul and join us for some grits and a biscuit.
Special Projects and Programs
Ladies' Night
One of our special programs is our annual Ladies' Night. All of the ladies are invited to dinner on 
the first Monday of February. There is special entertainment, gifts to the ladies, and the awarding of the annual PIG award, the Presbyterian Inspirational Guru Award.
Presbyterian Inspirational Guru Award (PIG Award)
The 'PIG' award recognizes the man who has contributed significantly to the church and the work of the Lord during the previous year or over his lifetime at the church. The winner is normally the focus of a friendly 'roast.' Appropriate 'pig gifts' are given to the PIG winner.
First AM Church, Spartanburg
In April of each year, the men's group of the First AM Church in Spartanburg is invited to have dinner with us. This has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know our neighbors and to develop meaningful relationships with our fellow brothers in Christ.
The Angel Christmas Tree
The names and Christmas gift wish lists of 50 children are hung on two Christmas trees in the back of the sanctuary during the Advent season. The names are provided by the Safe Homes/Rape Crisis Coalition. Members of the church are asked to select a child and provide gifts for them. The Men's Group coordinates the project and delivers the gifts to Safe Homes.
MUGS - Men Under God's Supervision - The Friday morning Group is starting a new service project which will be modeled after the 'MUGS' program. The men will do small service projects for the widows, stay-at-home members, and those who are unable to do their repairs for themselves. Projects will include minor carpentry, plumbing, and yard cleaning projects. Roy Bishop will prepare the policy and procedures and publish them for the congregation. Cal Cannon and Jim George will be the leaders of the work teams. All men in the church are invited to participate. Give Cal or Jim a call.
Miscellaneous Projects
The Men's Group has donated funds for the purchase of Christmas trees, dining tables for Price Hall, and other needed items over the years.
