NOTES FROM THE LAY DIRECTOR

"The Lord your God...will rejoice over you with gladness, He will keep you quiet with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."  Zephaniah 3:17


Greeting Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We have wonderful news to share for the coming year; we have added another weekend. This will be a Coed weekend in the Houston area to serve southeast Texas and Louisiana. In fact, there are many opportunities to serve or attend a Via de Cristo weekend. Let us take advantage of these opportunities and serve with the fruits of the Spirit in our hearts and through our actions. Some of you have expressed concern because the fall weekends at Lutherhill were eliminated for 2008. Please think not of what was eliminated, but what has been created. The coed weekend in southeast Texas has the possibility of reaching many brothers and sisters with a camp closer to their homes;  with less travel time for training and the weekend. Do you have to be asked to serve on a team? NO! Look on the schedule and see who the rector is going to be, contact that person and let them know you wish to serve.

Wonderful opportunities for servanthood in 2008:
  • Men's Weekend @ Lutherhill April 24-27   Rector Jay Sanger
  • Women's Weekend @ Lutherhill May 1-4   Rector Helen Page
  • Summer Coed @ Cathederal Oaks July 31-August 3  Rector Charlie Lunday
  • Southeast Texas Coed @ J Bar J October 9-12   Rector John Stokes
  • Hill Country Coed @ Chrysalis October 16-19   Rector Sharon Tschirhart

In closing , I would like to share with you  top 10 Predictions for 2008 shared with me from a Brother in Christ
