Following the 10:30

a talk on his experiences during his walks on the Camino De Santiago. The walk
has been a Christian pilgrimage for hundreds of years. The walk begins in
France, crosses northern Spain ending at the Cathedral of Santiago de
Compostela, where the relics of Spain’s patron saint, Santiago – St. James, one
of the sons of Zebedee – are housed. The walk was made famous a few years ago
in the movie “The Way”. The talk will begin promptly at noon. Please feel free
to bring your lunch and join us.

of St. Luke and Director of Region 3 as our mission speaker. “Surrendering to
Abba’s Love” is the theme of this mission. Detailed information will be posted
