Inside the Man Cave (Senior High Boys)
A man cave, sometimes called a mantuary or manspace, is a male sanctuary where "guys can do as they please". It is important for a man to have a place to call his own, referring to a male area to which to retreat. Come explore faith issues from a male viewpoint.
