VDC Weekend

Hi all!

Here is a reminder about the upcoming VDC weekends. Look for the community signs to know where in the church we will gather. Times are generally accurate, but also dependent upon where the team and pilgrims are in their schedule.

A reminder that closing cannot begin until the church is cleaned. Community assistance with this is essential. The cha’s will have already done much of the work, but kitchen, dining room, and the sanctuary after closing will still require community volunteers. Mike will be asking for your help.

May 10 – Sponsor hour – after the pilgrims are delivered and settled.
May 12 – Holy Hour – 6pm, serenade to follow at approximately 7pm
May 13 – Las Mananitas (gather at 5:30am), Break-in, and closing, gather around 2pm

Spring Walks Prayer Vigil

Hello Prayer People!!! It’s that time again. We are getting ready for the
Spring walks and creating the prayer boards.

Men’s Spring Weekend –CW #96 – April 19-22 – Christ Community of the Nazarene in

Syracuse. Bill Richards – His verse is in James. Draw Close to God and God will draw close to you.

Women’s Spring Weekend –CW #96 – May 17-20 – Christ Community of the Nazarene in Syracuse.

Shawn Schultz – Scripture Psalm 46:10. Be still, and know that I am God.

All you need to do is be willing to pray for the babe
chicks, team, and sponsors of the weekends. Email me at
laedger@stny.rr.com if you are able to do that. We will make up a special
prayer board with the weekend name, the verse of the weekend, and your names
all over it so the people coming to the weekend can see the people that are
praying for them.
Let’s cover the Spring walks with prayer. It doesn’t take a lot of time and
can be done any where, at any time, on the weekends above!

You can also choose to appear permanently on every prayer board for the upcoming walks.If you desire to do that, please note that in your response. Those that have already done that in the past do not need to respond to this notice. Email me if you can’t remember

Thanks!
