The Agape is a
covered dish event for the whole Credo Community, family, friends and
guests. We gather and pray over the Team members, we pray for the
Candidates and we break and share bread together much in the same way
the first Christians did when they gathered together. This year the
Agape will be held at the United Methodist Church of South Vineland at
4:00 PM in the Church Basement. Bring a covered dish, family and
friends. Also bring any Palanca you have been working on for the
Weekends.
Directions to United Methodist Church of South Vineland will be
continued further on in this letter.
April 20th-23rd is the Men’s Weekend. That Saturday is April 22nd and
on Saturday evening is when we gather at Malaga Campground to Pray, sing
and show support to the Candidates and the Team. Again bring family and
friends. The Candle Light Ceremony is a very important part of the
Weekend experience for the Candidates and a great show of support for
the Team. This is the first time some of the Candidates are introduced
to a sense of Community or “Church” as a member of the “Family of God”.
The Candle Light Ceremony will be repeated again on May 20th for the
Women’s Weekend. Please be there before 8:00 pm. Park and enter the
Main Hall Discreetly. Directions to Malaga Campground will be continued
further in this letter.
June 3rd at 4:00 is the Fourth Day Reunion. It will be at this time
that our whole community gathers and welcomes the new members. We will
give thanks with an Agape Service and with a covered dish dinner. It
will be held at the United Methodist Church of South Vineland.
Bring family, friends or perspective candidates.
BOARD MEETING
The next Board Meeting will be held on June 3rd at 2:00 pm at the United
Methodist Church of South Vineland before the Fourth Day reunion. All
are welcome to attend. The Board is looking for people who are
discerning how they can help the Credo Community by giving of themselves
whether it would be Time, Talent or Treasure. We hold meetings four
times a year. We need people to help fill some of the Board Positions
and to help is assisting in areas such as Social, Physical, and
Music…etc. Come and check it out this might be a way of giving back to
your community in Thanksgiving for all the Lord has done for you.
SOCIAL
This year 2006 is the Tenth Anniversary of the first Credo Weekend. We
would like to plan a really big Reunion event in October as a Fund
Raiser. This event is important for community fellowship and to help
replenish our coffers which is depleting. If you are interested in
helping us out with planning this event or to find out what you can
contribute contact Diana Hoffman at 609-884-8349.

Please keep in your prayers the following Brothers and Sisters:
Helen Patti (God knows her intention), Ed Musiak, John Richards, Jacob
