Cursillo — YES!

Home > News > Cursillo — YES!

Cursillo -- YES! Presbyterian Cursillo is a three-day spiritual retreat designed to renew the faith of individuals and, through those renewed individuals, the environments in which they live and work. “Cursillo” (pronounced Kur-see-yo) means a short course in living the Christian faith and is designed to provide a framework for the development of Christians in the local church and in the world. It is intended for Presbyterians who seek continued growth in their faith and commitment. During the weekend, participants form a small Christian community, worship, study together and communicate with one another in order to gain a personal, living awareness of their faith and the joys and responsibilities such a faith brings. The weekend itself is centered around informal talks, some given by lay people and some by Presbyterian clergy. After each talk the participants and staff, in small groups, interact and discuss the presentation. Worship, communion, small group interactions, lots of music and a number of fun events enhance the weekend experience. The activities provide an opportunity for the participants to discover a new and exciting relationship with Christ and to encourage them to then take that newfound relationship back to their home, work and church environments. The three-day weekend is just the beginning of a life long process of deliberately and joyfully living the Christian life.  More information is available from Mark Rumscheidt, Dave Coles, Pam Hurst or Pastor Jerry -- or on the web at http://www.houstoncursillo.org/.  Upcoming Cursillo weekends this year are July 10th and October 10th,  and February 11th of next year. If you are ready for a life-changing experience, this is it!
