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..

b. Lodging
c. Transportation

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.

program design, seating place cards
Computer savvy
people (Access)
