The conference was packed full of beautiful worship, music, educational talks and workshops all focusing on the importance of Cursillo Ministry in the Episcopal Church. Members got to attend workshops on 4th Day in Action, Sponsorship in Action, 60 Cursillo Ideas, and A 30-Day Cursillo Devotional in Action. The keynote speaker, Patricia Lyons, showed members her research on the importance of Micro Ministries, like Cursillo, that continue to keep the Episcopal Church alive and healthy.
If you’d like to receive copies of the handout from the workshops, you can contact Roberta Coons. Virginia Theological Seminary also developed the ‘Walking Along; An In-Depth Daily Devotional’, which will be available on Amazon to purchase soon.
Stay tune for coming events within Heartland Cursillo! We look forward to seeing what else is in store.
