Dear Family,
The weekends are fast approaching as our first Team Formation is this Saturday, September 13th, at the Sturgis Cumberland Presbyterian Church. This season of preparing for and anticipating the weekends can be exciting. Perhaps you are working on a team, or your candidate has said yes to attending; how exciting! Or maybe you have a gift for praying and sacrificing to support the weekend, your anticipation is growing.
I don’t want to ignore the other side of this excitement. Sometimes, adding Cursillo commitments to already full lives can feel daunting. I know it well, and I join you in that tension. This is not meant to discourage us—rather, it reminds us that meaningful Kingdom work often comes at a cost. That is why we pray over these choices and trust that God will provide His peace and provision for the tasks ahead.
Isaiah 41:10 – “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Philippians 4:6–7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
So, in the weeks ahead, if that familiar tension arises between your Cursillo commitments and other areas of your life….. Fear not, Do not be anxious about anything, and – “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” Colossians 3:15
Come and worship, Family, for all is now ready and the time to celebrate is here! May we ALWAYS set aside any dread and gladly respond: Let us celebrate then, not as though no change has taken place in our lives, but with rejoicing for being saved to a new life!
