Day of Deeper Understanding – Saturday, 10 August 2024
I wish to invite you all to the ‘Day of Deeper Understanding’ on Saturday, 10 August. Just taking a moment to reflect on the meaning of an Ultreya, it is a Spanish word used by the pilgrims as they travelled to the tomb of St James the Apostle at Compostela.
Please give this some prayer and consider how important it is for us to encourage others in their journey. We would love for you all to come along and meet our new Cursillistas. You will hear how the weekends went and how the Lord was working during the weekend. We would like as many cursillistas to come along as possible, reflect and discuss the direction in which you feel the Lord is taking Cursillo, the vision and direction with us.
The Day of Deeper Understanding will be held on: Saturday, 10 August at 9.30 am for morning tea and starts at 10 am
St Matthew’s Church, 109 College Street, Palmerston North
Please bring a plate to share for morning tea as well as lunch as we are having a pot luck lunch. We would love to see you for a day of worship, fellowship and fun.
