PASS IT ON : Can you be the spark? Share the joy of your ECHO weekend! Be a sponsor!

It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon those all around can warm up to its glowing
That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it
You spread His love to everyone, you want to pass it on.
I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound
I'll shout it from the mountaintop, I want the world to know the Lord of Love has come to me,
I want to pass it on. Kurt Kaiser

ECHO 231 will begin on Friday, Nov. 7th and the closing will be held at Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville on Sunday Nov. 9th at 7 p.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 Palanca Room is located in the Barnstable Recreation Building on Main Street , Centerville and is open from 6:30 to 9p.m. Friday, and Saturday from 10a.m. - 8p.m. The Palanca Room is not open on Sunday. Please make sure all Palanca is there by 7p.m. Saturday so it can be sorted. Palanca may not be delivered by sponsors or family to Craigville.

The Palanca Room for this weekend will be run by Kim Manning, Amanda Blanchette and Amanda Soares. Please support them with your prayers and presence.

The theme for the weekend “ Because You Love Me” ” from the song “ I Believe in You ” by Joy Williams. Please plan to join the young women of ECHO 231 as they celebrate the gift of Jesus in their lives:  

You breathe and life begins, You speak and my world makes sense .That's how it is when it comes to You
Your mercy has no end. You're more than just a friend
It amazes me You feel the way You do
I believe in You and nothing less. I believe in You, can't help myself
You're all the hope The reason that I need
I believe in You just because I don't need no one to prove Your love. For all that I have seen

You are so beautiful You are the miracle that dries the tears and
heals the wounded heart And it's so clear to see
Your hand in everything. You were there for me
There to see me through
