T&T Update 
  October 2005

2005 Theme: “The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I lack.”Ps 23:1


Headline Notices  Hot off the press: 

§         Social Justice Family Mentoring Training previously scheduled for Saturday 24th September will now be held on October 22nd 2005 at Meeting Room of Rosary Church Port of Spain.

§         Because of the new date for Family Mentoring Training, our Leadership Formation and Training has been rescheduled.  The Leadership & Formation Team will advise us further on this. 

 

Eucharistic Congress

Many thanks to those who volunteered for Ushering Duty at the upcoming Eucharistic Congress Celebrations at Hasely Crawford Stadium on October 16th.  You are reminded of rehearsals at 8:00 am on October 8th at the Stadium.  Your Unit Heads would have already advised you about T-Shirts and that your arrival time on October 16th is 6:00 am. 

 

Kelly de Castro -  Fire Relief

You will recall that Kelly Ann De Castro from our St. Ann’s Unit home was destroyed by fire on Monday 12th Sept.  The urgent need now is to rebuild their home and we are appealing for donations or assistance with building materials.  Please contact Trina Fung  at 678-4242 if you are able to help.

 

Sangre Grande Patronal Feast Day

Our Sangre Grande Unit found an interesting opportunity to spread the news about CFC.  They hosted a booth at the parish Patronal Feast Day on October 2nd and decorated it with CFC paraphernalia.  CFC bandanas and banners were complemented by Cowboy hats and horseshoes in the CFC booth. 

Our faithful spy reported “I don’t know how much money they made but the warmth and laughter were worth the effort, especially when CFC Arouca Unit Head, Lloyd Theodore,  led the dancing”  Apparently contingents from CFC Arouca and CFC St. Augustine popped in to support”.

Well done CFC that’s the team spirit and encouragement we like.

 

Joey & Jonathan

It seems unbelievable that Joey & Jonathan have left us, they seemed so much like a part of us.  Reports are that they have safely returned to the Philippines equipped with Trini accents.  Oh Gorsh man dem is real Philidadians”.  And…….rumours abound that Jonathan may return in January. So keep praying for them

 

Jesus Explosion

Jesus Explosion at Preysal was a day of blessings and ministry.  We thank the youth-infused music ministry for the fabulous job they did there.  Your rehearsals and spirituality produced bountiful fruit for us. (see website for photos)

 

Handmaids Retreat

Handmaids Retreat is almost upon us and after their inspirational Handmaids Conference in August our Handmaids must be queuing up for place at Caroni.  So book early and make your down payments early because CFC has to pay a down payment for each room we reserve at Caroni Retreat Centre.  To everyone else please keep the Retreat Planning Team in your prayers. “not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord”.

 

 

SFC Plans

Plans are still on stream (or on waves) for the SFC activities.  Although some of their dates are tentative, keep the events in mind so that your swim suit and towels etc are ready, after all every CFC member is invited:

 

1) Either Nov 11-13 or Nov 18-20 they will be spending the weekend at Spiritan House Down The Islands or Ocean Star Youth Centre at Guayaguayare.(SFC members and non-members)

and

2) Sat Dec 3rd. they will host A Day of Discernment for Singles ( members and non-members) possibly at UWI Chaplaincy.  9:00am-3:00pm.
