The service today was very nice, with tonight's featured speaker doing a brief talk on what to expect for the mission series. It's unfortunate that the weather is deteriorating this afternoon into evening. It is an icy snow mix, and another 3-5 is expected. For those folks interested, here's some info on the speaker. Should be good...weather permitting.
This year’s theme will be “It’s Not Negotiable” presented by Vinal Van Benthem, S.F.O.
Vinal is a freelance writer, poet and spiritual director and Pastoral Associate ministering in the areas of Spirituality, Pastoral Care and Adult Faith Formation at St. Raphael Parish in Oshkosh.
