First Frisco Iron Works is a ministry for Christian men. It refers to the refining activity of God that is needed in the life of every Christian. Refining and forging require tremendous heat and intentional shaping. A tool that has been properly refined and forged is more effective, and less likely to break under pressure. Important point: Men who participate in this ministry are not the fire, or the hammer, or the anvil! We are the lump, being refined and shaped for God’s purposes. For men, this process of spiritual refining and forging works best in the company of other men who are committed to the same goal. Join Pastor Mark on Fridays from 6-7 am in the Gathering Area. FFIW will soon be studying "Religionless Christianity: God's Answer to Evil" by Eric Metaxas. Contact Pastor Mark, mark@firstfrisco.org, for details. 
Facilitator: Rev. Mark Vowell
When: Fridays, 6 - 7 am year-round
Where: The Gathering Area (just outside the Sanctuary

Wondering how to keep your kids or grandkids from getting sucked into the darkness of the Internet? You aren't alone.

Nowadays even the most committed Christian families are struggling to manage their children's access to technology and all its craziness. A new book offers insights based on the latest research: The Anxious Generation, by Jonathan Haidt, speaks hard truths about the epidemic of mental illness in young people and its irrefutable links to what the author calls "phone-based childhood." But the book offers encouragement, too, especially for like-minded communities who choose to commit to protecting children and teens, collectively. In other words, it's tailor-made for our family of faith!
Come read this book alongside scripture, and foster a connection with other parents and grandparents who want to reclaim health and freedom for their loved kiddos. Shannon Vowell (mom, grandparent, teacher of teens) will lead the discussion.
