The 11 circuit labyrinth was painted and a meditation area was constructed at
Sionito over the weekend.
See you @ Sionito.

To accelerate the work of sharing the gospel, the Twelve and the Seventy should be closely associated in implementing wholistic evangelistic ministries. The seventy are to be the forerunners of Christ’s peace, preparing the way for apostolic witness to be more readily received. Procedures regarding the calling and assignments of the Presidents of Seventy and members of the Quorums of Seventy shall be developed to facilitate the maximum level of collaboration with the Council of Twelve. The Twelve, the Presidents of Seventy, and the Quorums of Seventy should spend sufficient time together to ensure a mutual understanding of evangelistic priorities and approaches. —Doctrine and Covenants 163:5a

“Reviving and Equipping Faithful Communities,”
Held at Graceland University, Lamoni, Iowa
July 27 - August 1.
The First Presidency encourages each congregation to send at least two people to CLW. The more participants from the same congregation or mission center will enable the educational and practical experiences of the week to be shared more broadly.
Several members of the World Church Leadership Council will bring ministry through classes, fellowship, and worship. The Ministerial Education and Discipleship Studies (MEADS) certificate program is also open to all CLW participants.
Please share this invitation and information with leaders and members, and look forward to a wonderful week.

My Tithing Plan
My Tithing Plan, a personal and confidential resource to assist disciples as they consider their tithing response is available for use in Australia, British Isles, Canada, and the United States. It can be used to intentionally plan contributions to Local and World Mission Tithes, and Community Tithes.
President Steve Veazey stated in his 2005 World Conference sermon, "Stewardship, discipleship, and mission cannot be separated." Principle two of A Disciple's Generous Response addresses the larger perspective of our discipleship: a disciple is faithful in response to Christ's ministry. This concept of faithful response is applicable to every aspect of our lives.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, our faithful financial response is reflected through our consistent annual giving to Mission Tithes. This is the key to funding the church locally and around the world. Principle four of A Disciple's Generous Response specifically addresses our financial response as disciples: a disciple shares generously through tithing so that others may experience God's generosity.
It is hoped that disciples in the Community of Christ will find My Tithing Plan useful as part of a spiritual process that acknowledges the generosity of God and leads to a tithing response. It can be updated periodically as income changes.
