MAY 2008:
It’s
hard to believe that the summer is already here! It’s time to put
up those books and break out the sunscreen. It is our hope that
each of you will be blessed by whatever experiences you have this
summer, and you will be in our prayers as you go your separate
ways. Take advantage of the opportunities presented you for the
sake of the Christ and sharing his love. We eagerly anticipate your
return in the fall!
If you have July
27-31 available, we will be journeying to the mountains of Northern
New Mexico for a backpacking retreat. It will be a great
opportunity to meet new people and share in the glory of God’s
creation. To reserve your spot or for more information, contact
Daniel at
danielc@sp-coc.org.
This summer we will
continue in Convergence on Wednesday nights meeting in the Living
Room next to the gym. See you soon!

 Puerto
Rico Spring Break Trip
by Wanda Dyess
Alan and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to
Arecibo, Puerto Rico with Daniel and a fantastic group of
university men and women to work side by side with Jim &
Connie Gullette.
The congregation was planning a Tent Revival on the weekend
we were leaving, so we had a week to hand out invitations
and brochures about the congregation. Our group along side
brothers and sisters from Arecibo handed out thousands of
invitations and made contact with numerous folk. The group
also worked at the camp in the mountains, painting, making a
cinder block baptistery, and some concrete walls.
We were blessed to work with eight awesome college students
who were fun, gracious, hardworking and cooperative who won
over the hearts of several of the members there. We have
received three emails from Arecibo brothers since our
return, and a phone call from a very excited Jim Gullette,
who reported on the number of visitors that showed up for
services on Saturday night. As Daniel said Sunday morning,
“We saw Jesus there.” Amen to that. |
