Dads are encouraged to bring their sons to participate, so each generation can interact, build up, and encourage one another. We're adding BBQ to the menu this time in addition to the usual fare. Save the date, spread the word, and invite a friend or two. **Dads, keep in mind that breakfast entails the meal, a short message, and prayer time, so please consider that when you decide who will accompany you
