Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

I have been asked to serve as Rector for Hughes Kairos #11. The date for the Hughes 11 Weekend is October 3-6, 2002 . The purpose of this letter is to provide you information on important dates leading up to and including the weekend, to ask you to be in prayer for Hughes 11, and to ask you to prayerfully consider serving as a team member.

 This invitation is going to past team members and to prospective new team members who have expressed an interest in serving. If you are a past team member, I only ask that you review the enclosed information sheet, make any needed corrections, and bring it to the first team meeting, or provide corrections to me by email. If you are a new team member, please complete the enclosed complete application, have it signed by your pastor, and mail it to me or bring it to the first team meeting. Enclosed is an extra application if you know someone who may be interested in serving who is qualified to serve on a Kairos team. Please get in touch with me if you have questions regarding qualifications for serving as a Kairos team member.

 If you are unable to serve on Hughes 11, there are other opportunities to support this wonderful ministry. Again, please keep Hughes 11 in your prayers, whether you are able to serve on the team or not. I also ask for your support in the form of Agape, e.g. cookies, letters, posters, banners, and money. Kairos veterans will be pleased to know that it appears we will be able to have church members and other volunteers bake and donate cookies, as long as they follow Kairos guidelines.

 Following is information on Hughes 11 team meeting dates and locations:

1.              There will be five (5) team meetings. The first three meetings will be at Dripping Springs United Methodist Church on July 20, August 3, and August 24. DSUMC is located on Ranch Road 12 in Dripping Springs, one mile north of the intersection with US 290.

2.              The fourth meeting will be on September 14 at our host church for Hughes 11, Gatesville First United Methodist Church . Gatesville FUMC is on 2600 E. Main (US Hwy 84) in Gatesville, approximately one mile west of the intersection with State Highway 36.

3.              The final team meeting will be at our host church on Wednesday evening-Thursday morning, October 2 - 3, at Gatesville FUMC.

 I will send out more details about the first team meeting shortly before July 20.

 Please be in prayer about serving on Hughes 11. If you accept this invitation to serve, please mail your application to me or respond to my e-mail address listed above. Much of our team communication in preparation for the weekend will be via e-mail, so please send your email address if you have one. Finally I ask that you keep me in your prayers as I will be keeping you in mine.

 Yours in Christ,

Dave Sutherland
