* Our monthly Ultreyas for 2010:
July Ultreya at Annandale UMC! On July 16, come to the Ultreya at Annandale UMC. We'll start with a great BBQ at 6pm, meet our new best friends from E154, and enjoy a great evening of prayer, praise and worship. Be ready for a terrific BBQ picnic at 6:00 (bring sodas, ice, or dessert if you like), followed by worship at 7:30. This is one gathering you won't want to miss. It gets better and better and better... (More) |
From the Community Lay Director...
From the Lay Director I’m trying to get back to my Fruit of the Spirit topics and that brings me to “Peace.” Ouch! Peace is a hard topic because I feel I don’t have very much peace in my life right now. You see, as I write this our family is only one week away from a wedding - our son’s wedding - and peace is hard to come by! There is just too much to do! His fiancée’s mother passed away several years ago, so I’ve taken on many of the “Mother-of-the-Bride” traditional tasks. So, there are reception favors to finish, centerpieces to complete, ribbon to buy, food to order, and on and on. (more) |

From the Community Spiritual Director...
From The Community Spiritual Director I’ve been thinking about the grace of God recently. As both a pastor and a Spiritual Director in the NCA Emmaus Community, I wonder if folks really do experience God’s grace. Do folks feel the presence of God in worship and in the Sacraments? We can be talking about the Prevenient Grace of God that comes seeking for us, long before we realize it. We can speak about Justifying Grace that is that moment when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and realize that God truly loves us and that we have the promise of eternal life. We can think about God’s Sanctifying Grace, which is the work of the Holy Spirit helping each of us to be more holy in our actions, to be more loving in what we do and say, to choose wisely the path we want to walk on this journey together.

Community Palanca I am the Community Palanca Cha. I need volunteers to make placemats for me. We need 270 decorated placemats for each team that goes to the Mountain. I will have blank placemats at the Ultreyas each month. You can create your own design, either free hand, trace from a coloring book, use markers, glitter and glue to create your designs. You can either do them yourselves or get your Sunday School classes to do them. The pilgrims really like them when they come from the children. There are two kinds needed: the ones that are decorated with cute pictures and words, and ones that specifically say “DeColores”. (more) |
Weekend Fees - Take Note! The Weekend Fees for 2010, as set by our Board of Directors, is: Pilgrim Application Fee $35 Pilgrim Fee $150 Team Fee $250

The Gospel in drama... While we're not in the habit of distributing the large volume of internet-sourced Christian media, every now and then a message arises that is so clear and convincing that we feel compelled to share it. Many of us have heard this story, but it bears repeating. Watch and enjoy! |
