Co-ed weekend

Oct 2-5, 2008

St David's, Lansing

AN INVITATION to CURSILLO....

    Episcopal Cursillo is very much alive and well here in the diocese of Western Michigan. Cursillo is one of many methods available to us to renew and refresh our spiritual lives. Cursillo begins with an intensive 3 day weekend of prayer, talks, eucharists, music, fellowship and fun and then continues into our ongoing "4th day" with regular spiritual disciplines and fellowship.

    Our next Cursillo co-ed weekend will be held from October 2 through 5, 2007 at St. David's Episcopal Church in Lansing.

If you'd like to know how to sign up for Cursillo please contact your parish's Cursillo 4th day representative (if you know who that is) or John Kingslight, Cursillo Secretariat president (269) 324-4902 / jkingslight@chartermi.net and John will help you find out who to contact locally.

    More information and application forms are available at http://www.wmec.net/
