Men’s Fall 2019 Weekend

Rector Harry Stice and his team have lovingly and prayerfully prepared for our new men candidates. Please keep the Men’s team and the Candidates and their respective Sponsors in prayer.

Visit 2019 Fall Weekends for details of the Men’s weekend including the team, candidates, mañanitas, potluck, palanca drop off locations, and online prayer chart are found online.

Palanca

Now is a great time to start write your notes and cards of Palanca to the team and candidates.

Palanca are the prayers, good works and sacrifices we do for, or offer on behalf of, the team and candidates. We write cards and notes to the team and candidates and express those offerings of prayers, good works, or sacrifice, made on, or for, their behalf. We also may write notes and prayers of encouragement in the name of Christ.

Remember to check frequently the list of updated candidates along the Palanca drop off locations at the link above.
