ECHO 226 will begin on Friday, Nov. 8th and the closing will be held at Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville on Sunday Nov. 10th at 7:00.m. Plan to support the team and candidates with your palanca. Once again we remind you that Palanca means prayer and sacrifice, the lifting of our hearts and minds to Jesus asking Him to touch the hearts of the candidates and fill them with His Spirit.
The theme song for the weekend will be:
In Me
By Rebecca St. James †
You said the words, and made the heavens
You breathed the stars and put their place in the sky
You waved Your hand, painted a sunset
You smiled and gave a heartbeat life
Crazy to think
That Your holy hands made everything I see
It's so hard to believe
That You the God of creation say
I've got this power†
In me
There is strength to move a mountain
In me
There is faith to walk on water
In me
If I just believe
The Way and the Truth and the Life is in me
So please remind me when I feel useless
That my flesh and bone has more than meets†the eye
Because You burn like a fire within me
And there's nothing out of reach when I
Let Your Spirit loose and be alive
Repeat chorus
You set the world in motion put the waves into the ocean
And when it all comes down I've got to believe
That You the God of creation say
I've got this power in me

Help! Help! Action Needed! Deadline December
NEWSLETTER: With the ever-increasing cost of postage, rather than ask for donations, we would like to send all newsletters by e-mail. It is a rare candidate on ECHO these days who doesn’t list an e-mail address. We realize that there are some special valued Echo friends who do not do e-mail and we don’t want to lose touch so we must hear from you by December 1st if you wish to have the newsletter mailed to you.

If you have a new e-mail address, send to me at fullerm.massed@rcn.com
