<aside> <img src="/icons/home_gray.svg" alt="/icons/home_gray.svg" width="40px" /> We usually meet at one of our homes.
This provides privacy and shelter. Find out more about historical homes here. Currently, we are by default meeting at Erika’s.
On occasion, we meet at the Dr. Squatch office. Things usually get a little unruly.

<aside> <img src="/icons/clock_gray.svg" alt="/icons/clock_gray.svg" width="40px" /> We often split our time into two sections.
First section devoted to start off the night: prayer, sharing & updates, checking in. Second section devoted to the content of the current module. We refer to these two sections as H1 (first half) and H2 (second half).
There is often an unannounced pre-H1 where food and sports are consumed, and post-H2 hangs.

[inward] we retreat to grow in intimacy & depth with each other, to be better brothers, friends, & reformers of each other to become more like Jesus. [outward] we retreat to grow as a community towards our service as men, husbands, fathers, & followers of Jesus in the renewal of all things
