Update
The balmy days come and go and
yet the spring blossoms are magnificent, blowing sometimes in chill winds. The
scripture speaks of the new life of resurrection and so we ask you to be open to
this special season. Team selection has just about finished the calls for the
August women's team. We will start to call the October men's team. We ask you
to pray if you are called and if you are not and would like to team, please call
us.
As we prepare for some
transition on this committee, we have added John and Toni Rausch and Kat
Sigler. I will be leaving in May to take over as Lay Director.and serve
Cursillo in another way.
We have noticed in our calls
this spring that we need women musicians. It is wonderful if you play
an instrument and can lead the singing, but if you simply love to sing and are
courageous enough to try leading a group, we would love to hear from you. It is
very similar to taking that first step, using and sharing your gifts, first with
a team who are all doing the same thing and then with the community on the
weekend. Do you love to sing? Let us know!!
The other area we will be
looking for help in is the kitchen for the October weekend at Missionhurst -
menu planning, shopping, cooking, serving and clean-up!!! More about this
later.
