Hi.
I just heard from my sister-in-law and spoke to my brother, Bill.
Please pray for him. He went to 2 different doctors and they
both said the same thing. He has severe COPD, and only 40% of
his lungs function. He needs a new biventricular
pacemaker (defibulator / pacemaker) with another wire added to the
top part of his heart. His heart is not a healthy one so that
adds to the problem. He is depressed and is not making good
choices right now. He is also on a c-pap machine with oxygen to
help him sleep. And he is still battling the water retention
due to his kidney's not functioning to well. I know God is in
control but I am really having a hard time understanding His will in
all this. Please continue praying for us all.
Thanks and God
Bless you for lifting (holding) us up with your prayers.

Please
put Paul on the Tres Dias prayer chain. Yesterday he was to
have had surgery for his hip which he broke at the hospital three
weeks ago, but could not for the second time because of a fluid build
up in his lungs and around his heart. This morning he was put
on a morphine drip and is being moved to ICU so that his condition
can be monitored more closely. Please pray that God places His
healing hands on Paul so that he may become well enough to have the
hip surgery. We also pray that God will be with Paul in his
recovery so that it continues as smoothly as possible.
Love in Christ,

My sister called me in Florida to tell me my brother Bobby passed
away in Pennsylvania. My other brother Bill was in the hospital
with fliud leaking out of his legs. The doctors sent him home
because he was so upset they thought it would be better for him to be
with his family, but he is still not doing well and he also has a
very sick heart. Please keep my family in your prayers. Thank
you and God bless you all for the prayers .

Last Wed, mom fell in a supermarket hitting her head quite hard and
setting off some internal bleeding. The blood immediately began
to pool between the brain and skull causing a great deal of pressure
on her brain. She was given immediate surgery which relieved the
pressure by removing a section of the skull. She is currntly
recoviring from this surgery. Her involuntary brain
functions--breathing, heart, etc appear to be unaffected, thank
God. Any further damage will not be known until she regains
consciousness on her own. This could take a few more weeks. She
is showing smaller signs of improvement, body and facial movements.
For now, we are waiting and praying. In any case, the doctors
predict a long road for rehab and full recovery after which the skull
segment will be replaced.
Thanks for
your prayer and concern

CELEBRATION
Dear Community,
It is with great joy that I am able to share with you that Joanne
Albanese (Weekend #40, Rectrix #59) has officially become a
Commissioned Pastor for the Classis of Nassau-Suffolk of the Reformed
Church in America . Pastor Joanne is authorized to preach the Word,
celebrate the sacraments, visit members of the Classis congregations
especially during crisis, conduct training events open to the entire
classis, and serve as the contact person between the Classis and the
RCA Office of Women’s Ministry.
Joanne
attended and completed the classis required coursework at New
Brunswick Theological Seminary, NJ where she earned her Certificate
of Ministry. In addition to her Masters in Education, and a second
Masters in Social Work, (where she is licensed and certified by the
State of New York), Joanne is also trained and commissioned as a
Stephen Minister. She is a member of the American Association of
Christian Counselors with membership in the following sub-divisions:
Biblical Counseling and Spiritual Formation, Christian Coaching
Alliance , and Extraordinary Women.
Joanne has
attended many leadership conferences and seminars including a seminar
on Grief Counseling led by H. Norman Wright. She has participated in
the Billy Graham Crisis Counseling-NYC after 9-11 and has attended
the Celebrate Recovery Training Conference that was held in
Massachusetts and has led many support groups.
In addition,
let me add that Joanne is also an approved Spiritual Advisor for our
Tres Dias community.
In order for
Pastor Joanne to formally begin her ministry, a commissioning service
took place during the June Classis meeting. However, there will be an
installation service in the fall where it is hoped that you, our
wonderful community, will join me and others in celebrating God’s
call upon Joanne’s life. I will keep you posted but in the
meantime, please join me in offering congratulations to
"Pastor" Joanne for a job well done.
De Colores, dear friend!
Joyfully announced by Cheryl Bougatsos, weekend # 59

INTERNATIONAL
SECRETARIAT MEETING TO COME TO LONG ISLAND 10/21-23/2011
I am excited
to announce that we at Long Island Tres Dias have a awesome
opportunity to host a International Secretariat meeting that will be
held on Long Island in October of 2011. This is when the
International communities come together for their committee
meetings. It is a time for our community members to meet and
fellowship with people from the other communities. This is a
wonderful time for those who cannot attend the yearly International
Assembly meeting.
This event
takes a year to plan. As you can imagine it is a major
undertaking and we will need many people to help. Around 75
people will be coming to Long Island from out of State and Country.
Robin Saliba
has kindly agreed to organize this event.
We need
volunteers to help in the different committees to make this event a success..

CREDO UP-DATE
Those of you
who came to the Credo dinner April 17 heard a little about the first
L.I. men’s weekend which was held last fall. For those of you
who are not familiar with what CREDO is, very briefly it takes the
Christian principles of fourth day communities (Cursillo, Kairos,
Tres Dias, etc) and introduces them to those in addiction
recovery thus offering them another avenue of enhancing and
strengthening their sobriety. The format of the weekend is similar to
Tres Dias, but the Credo talks concentrate on healing, forgiveness,
and reliance on Christ in the recovery process.
My daughter
Colleen and I went to Rockford , Illinois to experience a women’s
Credo weekend this past June; with the intent of starting one in NY.
As with all fourth day communities, we are not for profit and self
supporting. So step one is to raise some funds to make this outreach happen.
THE PROPOSED
PLAN –
Men’s LI
Credo Recovery #2 – November 4-7, 2010
February 2011
- BANQUET DINNER with Entertainment
and Silent Auction
FALL 2011
– both Men’s #3 and Women’s #1 weekends.
We are already
checking into possibilities for restaurants and entertainment for the
February banquet.
WHAT WE NEED:
Creative
people: to help create theme baskets for silent auction, decorations,
program design, seating place cards
Computer savvy
people (Access)
People with
access to printing
Restaurant
gift certificates and sporting event tickets, and any other
ideas for the silent auction.
People to help
set up and man the silent auction
People to help
with publicity and reservations and seating
