On behalf of Ady and the ExCo team, please pray for the repose of the soul of Helen Plocha, wife of our past president, Ed Plocha.  While Helen has been a cancer survivor for some time, she developed some significant health complications during the past week and died the evening of Friday August 26 of multi-system organ failure.  Ed and Helen's children had been at her bedside these past few days.  In Ady's words, may Helen experience the loving embrace of our God.  She is experiencing God's peace and love.  Please ask your communities to pray for Helen, Ed, and Helen's children.  As we know more details of funeral arrangements etc we will pass them on.  May Helen rest in peace.  Your ExCo team

On behalf of Đồng Hành Family Ministry, we would like to invite all CLC couples to attend this workshop, then discern whether you would want to join our team in caring for the families as one of the frontiers stipulated in the World Assembly. For KCLC and South Florida communities, if you can send a few of your couples, we would love to spread it to Korean and Spanish speaking communities as well. Đồng-Hành CLC members in Houston will take care of your lodging and transportation to and from the workshop. For CLC members, financial assistance for registration is available upon request.
