  • IMP SHEET Issue #82 May 2015
    Lincoln Cursillo IMP SHEET Issue #82 May 2015 Lay Director's Report AGM 2015 What a difference a year makes! This time last year I was juggling two hats – that of Lay Director and Lay Rector! It was all a bit hectic, but we got there! #30 was both a joy and a privilege, and I just about got the 2 hats in the right order at the Clausura! This time last year I was facing with trepidation all the Safeguarding issues we had to work through. Again, all a bit hectic, but we eventually got there! Suffice it to say in this report as Lay Director that our Lincoln Cursillo Safeguarding Policy is now in place, with the blessing of the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. Hopefully today we will be able to appoint a Safeguarding Officer to our Secretariat. This time last year I expressed my concern that we were not clear in our thinking about the difference between Servant Community and the Secretariat within our Movement. Thanks to a wonderful Training Event in January of this year this has become untangled. What a privilege to have both our BACC President and National Spiritual Director with us for that session, as well as to celebrate with us the 20th Anniversary of Cursillo’s inauguration within the Lincoln Diocese! This time last year we were still at the planning stages for our promotional DVD. Following the AGM David Simcox mentioned to me in passing that his son Adam was a professional in this field, and the wheels were set in motion for Adam to work with us on this important project.

Darkness falls as your life ebbs away. Violence, hatred and fear have distorted your human features. So much in our hurting world is broken. Yet you are there, not abandoning us. You bear our pain. You make our distress and confusion your own. May the cruel wood of your cross become the living tree that bears fruit for our healing. Renew our lives by the blood and water that flow from your side. Breathe that last breath of your Spirit into our lives. (Prayer request written by Christopher Chapman - Discipleship and Spirituality Consultant) Anglican Communion: The Diocese of Bathurst - The Anglican Church of Australia 3 April Praying together: Holy Saturday Today we wait in the darkness of the tomb where your broken body lies. The wheat grain lies buried in the earth. We feel the loss of what has ended, and the absence of what has not yet begun. Be with those whose lives are suspended in long days of grieving. In this sleep of your death, Lord Jesus, hold those who can see no meaning to the day ahead.
