Tuscumbia Church of Christ

How good and pleasant it is when
brothers live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

Just how good can it be? Just how pleasant is it really? As you read the next two verses, you start to get a glimpse.

Verse two reads:
It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes.

And verse three says:
It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

God sees men dwelling together as something AMAZING! To Him, it is something that is as sacred as the anointing oil of the high priest. More specifically it is the first high priest, Aaron himself! It was the oil that marked the high priest as God's man to offer sacrifice for the people and said from God to the people, "This man is MINE!"

It still goes beyond that. To God, the idea of brotherhood is as holy as Mount Zion itself. The dew of Hermon is from the top of Mount Hermon. This mountain has been known for the many blessings it bestows upon those who live in it's shadow. Cool breezes and the melting snow help to combat the heat of the area. So here you have brotherhood referred to as "...the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion..." Here is this revitalizing dew falling upon Mount Zion, the Mountain of the City of God. As worship is a pleasing aroma to God, so too is unity among brothers, a refreshing breeze to God Almighty.

At Tuscumbia, we seek to invoke these feelings and more with the men of our "Forever Family". A brotherhood built on the spiritual truth that God desires us to be united. We seek to be an encouragement to one another: encouraging each other to lift upon our shoulders the mantle of leadership, leading our family, friends, and community, leading through service, action, and attitude, and always focusing on our Father and Creator who seeks a deeper relationship with all of us.

Come be a part of our Men's Ministry!

	Every second Saturday of the month at 7:30 a.m. We meet at the church annex for some home cookin' fellowship and quality time talking to our Father. We pray about different needs and blessings going on in the lives of ourselves, our congregation, our community, and our country. Each month a different sister congregation is invited to partake with us in this awesome time of encouragement.

	Many of the men at Tuscumbia have a distinct love for the game of golf. During the warmer season many of us men (those who know the game and even those who just know how to dress the part) gather at one of the many golf courses in the area on a Saturday morning to play in a four man scramble. These golf outings can bring forth competitiveness between us men, but as golfers, we know that the sport affords us extraordinary opportunities for time with others. What other way would we want to spend 4 or 5 hours in the company of friends and fellow brothers in Christ.

	Beginning in April of each year the Sheffield Park and Recreation Department provides a Church League Softball program for the entire Shoals area. For the past thirteen years the men at Tuscumbia has been a part of this recreational past time. We not only use this time to have fun and get dirty, but to also glorify our Heavenly Father with the talents that he has possessed us with. It's also encouraging to have church members come and cheer for us in the stands. After each game both teams join together on the pitcher's mound for a prayer. There is nothing like playing the game of softball with fellow brethren.
