Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
The event we have planned for is almost here. Tomorrow evening we will
begin the first session of the first ever National Assembly to Honor
Freedom of Conscience.
I met June and Walter Wink at the airport earlier this afternoon. They
are safe in Austin and looking forward to sharing this weekend with us.
Find more about the assembly program on the website at
www.mennochurch.org/nathfc. I have copied the general program scenario
below for your awareness.
Because of conference programing we will not be meeting in the church
building on Sunday morning as usual for worship, study time, and the
community meal. Instead, we will have opportunity to share in the 10a
session in Wooldridge Square Park (9th and Guadalupe). Music, an address
by Ann Wright, testimonies of CO experiences, a ritual offering of
prayers for peace in the international community, and a chance to
individually walk a labyrinth for spiritual enrichment and renewal will
be there. Afterward, about noon, we will share lunch together in the
park, catered by Rudy's BBQ and Veggie heaven.
Thank you for your generous support of this project. I trust it will be
an enriching experience for all of us.
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
