7:30 p.m.  -  Ultreya

·        Song:   ( RS book Pete Banjo)

·        Happy Easter! Christ is risen! In silence close your eyes Leave aside your needs, your wants, and your agendas. Put your intercessory prayer list on hold. Father knows what you and all your loved ones need. He knows your hurts, your hopes, your fears, and your dreams. Lay them aside and fix your heart instead on Jesus and the salvation that he has won for you. In your mind’s eye picture him coming out of the tomb, your Redeemer and Brother. Picture yourself among the sleeping guards—only you're awake. Imagine Jesus walking up to you and lock­ing eyes with you. What do you see there? What do you feel? What does he want to say to you? You have waited so long for this moment, and now it's finally here. Look carefully and listen closely. Your redemption is at hand!

·        "Jesus, 1 love you."

8:00 p.m.  “Be Not afraid” , theme of the Men’s 198th Cursillo.

8:11 p.m.  Witness: Glenette Fitzmeyer spoke from the heart about her experience of the 197th Cursillo weekend.  She brought the picture that Brother Richard created for the weekend’s theme of Wounded Healers.  Glenette also shared her experience of talking with her spiritual advisor for the first time.  Bill Prochownick, who had just attended the men’s 198th Cursillo, told the group of his desire to “pray” the rosary thoughtfully with his fellow cursillistas and his own spiritual growth during the weekend.  Team members form both weekends Ginger, Sandy, Cheryl, George, Maury, and Dickie shared that the Cursillo weekends were times of joy and enlightenment for them as they watched the new cursillistas grow in understanding and faith.

Ginger Caldwell distributed easter eggs with names inside to each member of the group.  We are to keep our special person in our prayers from now until Pentecost.
