STRATEGIC
PLANNING MEETING
This meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, May 17, at 7:00-8:30 PM in the parish hall. The purpose
of the meeting is for us to determine the objectives of our Mission for
the coming years. We should also think about what we could do with the
monies available from the Diocese to further our mission in the church
and in our community.
Professor Kip Sullivan from Sul Ross University will be there to assist us in formulating our plans. He has done this type of brainstorming before and could be of great help to us! Please plan to attend if you possibly can and help us to determine what the future of the Big Bend Mission will be. BISHOP'S COMMITTEE MEETING
THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ON SUNDAY,
MAY 20TH AT 1:30 PM. THERE WILL BE A DISCUSSION ABOUT AGENDA

Thelma C. Hoyle Chapter Alpine, Texas MONTHLY MEETING IN MAY
April 18, 2012 Greetings in the Name of Christ, Our Lord Due to the diocesan Spring Gathering and the Bishop's visit this month, we will not be having an April OSL meeting. However, we do have an excellent speaker for our May 27th meeting. Stephanie Shelton, a hospice volunteer, will be joining us to talk about spiritual healing and the dying process. Stephanie is involved with Life Link, Inc. in an effort to establish home hospice care here in Alpine. The May meeting will start at 10 instead of 9:30. We voted last month to move the meeting time in hopes it would be more convenient for everyone. May's meeting will be with events as scheduled below. 10:00 Refreshments and fellowship 10:15 OSL Business meeting with announcements. * Opening Prayer * Minutes from last meeting * Treasurer's report * New Business * Announcements 10:30 speaker 11:00 Healing Service If anyone would like to bring refreshments for our meeting, please let me know. We continue to have a wonderful assortment of goodies. Thank you to all who helped out. If you haven't been able to attend in the past, you have missed some wonderful and thoughtful presentations. Please try to make time to stop by and refresh your mind, body and spirit. Feel free to invite anyone you think would be interested in coming with you. Again looking forward to seeing you on May 27th. We will send out a reminder for the meeting in May, but please note the date on your calendars. If you have any questions, please contact any of the members listed below. In Christ's love, Nancy Antrim, 837-1389 Al Hoyle, 837-2088 Virginia Knab, 837-5020 FIFTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON HEALING
