“I attended my first Cursillo weekend at St. Paul’s Church in Kansas City, Kansas, with Mary, my wife, in 1988. We had moved a year previously from Tulsa and were attending Christ Church in Overland Park. There were about thirty candidates and probably twenty or more staff members at the retreat. I was in my second year of diaconal training before I was ordained a perpetual Deacon in 1989. The retreat consisted of many talks by clergy and laity and then summaries by the candidates which helped us to get a clearer understanding of our faith and how to grow in our belief in Christ.
“I have probably worked more than 10 weekends as a clergy team member and learn more each time about God and His love for all of us. The greatest thing I have learned over the years is that the Holy Spirit dwells in each one of us and the Spirit’s power and God’s love grows stronger in a group of gathered Christians!
“Truly pray about attending the next Cursillo Weekend this August.”
Deacon David
