Dear Clergy and Lay Leaders of the Diocese:

Recently, I received an email about an opportunity that I want to share with you. The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics will be presenting a six-session online cohort, beginning June 26th. Pastor, author, speaker, and apologist for the Christian faith, Gavin Ortlund, will be facilitating this cohort titled, How Ancient Arguments Still Change Modern Hearts. Registration is open until June 13th. All sessions will be recorded and available for streaming or download for those who register. You might consider participating in this cohort.

Also, I'd like to share with you a message from Charles Scherzer (aka Deacon Jennifer’s husband). Charles is a lay leader at St. Timothy's Cathedral and the rector for Paseo #8, “Servants of God”, scheduled for January 2025 at Camp Lone Star Pines Retreat Center in Tomball, TX. Please read the message below from Charles:

Paseo, developed from the Cursillo movement, is a unique encounter with Jesus through his people, the church. This weekend experience is invariably strengthening and encouraging, but more often than not, it is transformational. Over three and one-half days, participants are encouraged to examine their relationship with Jesus, consider obstacles to a closer relationship, and better structure their Christian life through piety, study, and action.

Paseo emphasizes the importance of servant leadership, which strengthens the life of the parish by equipping participants to support the work of their clergy. Interacting, witnessing, and having communion with Christians from other parishes in our diocese creates relationships that bind the diocese together in a unique and powerful way. Please keep Paseo #8 Servants of God in your prayers.

If you would like further information, please contact Charles at 281-787-0954 or
