30 to attend Happy Camp

Archdeacon Dana Wilson joyfully reports that thirty youngsters will attend this summer’s Happy Camp June 10-16 thanks to the generosity of many Northwest Texans. The children who would not otherwise be financially able to have a camp experience were selected by nomination from their teachers and others in child related services from across the diocese. Donations this past year funded the thirty camper slots. Archdeacon Wilson has heard from many grateful nominators from last year about the positive impact the camp has had on the children who attended. Two Happy Campers took their first hot showers at last year’s camp! Contributions may be sent to 1802 Broadway, Lubbock, TX 79401.

Eleven persons from the Diocese will continue their work at the LAND Conference to be held in San Angelo June 14-17: the Rev. Bernardo Martinez & Francisco Molina of San Miguel Arcangel, Odessa; the Rev. Leslie Gregory; the Rev. Michael Ehmer, Vicar of the Llano Estacado Missions; Mary Ann Rowe, Vernon Rowe, and Darla Jimenez of the Sandhills Episcopal Ministries; the Rev. Bill Nix, the Rev. Larry Spannagel, and Norman Allen of the Rolling Plains (Panhandle) Ministry Cluster; and Claire Cowden, Diocesan Ministries Coordinator. Area clergy serving as mentors are Mike Jasper, Monte Jones, and Jim Liggett. Jerry Sneary serves on the LAND staff.

Each participant will be working independently or as part of a team with a mentor to implement a project in their local area. These projects will reflect the basic LAND principles that all baptized persons are gifted and called to ministry and that each faith community is responsible for its own life, ministry, and mission. LAND conferences seek to encourage each congregation or regional ministry to recognize its own potential for self-sufficiency in ministry and mission. LAND invites congregations to move from dependence to independence to inter-dependence. Contact Claire Cowden at ministry@nwt.org

Santa Maria Virgen, Midland
Dedication August 18

The Rt. Rev. Wallis Ohl will dedicate Santa Maria Virgen in Midland at 6 pm on August 18. The Rev. Bernardo Martinez led Northwest Texas’ newest congregation in its first service Sunday, May 20.

Cathy Guynes of St. Andrew’s, Amarillo, donated a computer, and a police officer has taught Fr. Bernardo, who also serves as police chaplain, how to use the computer. David Morrow of Holy Trinity, Midland, donated the land and a building which had previously been a nursery school. Members of Santa Maria Virgen have spent many hours painting, refinishing floors, and moving in pews and furnishings for their new church. Santa Maria Virgen is located at 3311 Andrews Hwy, Midland 79703, 915.520.0671. Contact Fr. Martinez at laotzu@nwol.net.

Texas Tech Canterbury Students
Feed the Hungry in New York

This May, as in previous years, two students from the Canterbury Association Student Center at Texas Tech ministered in New York at soup kitchens and homeless shelters under the sponsorship of the national Office of Young Adult and Higher Education Ministries . The Vocations in Service program is overseen by the Rev. Mary Hileman, chaplain at Oklahoma State. Haley Hilliard of Heavenly Rest, Abilene, and Rachel Myers of Corpus Christi, both freshmen at Tech, stayed at a youth hostel, rising early in the morning to travel to a different soup kitchen each day to feed the hungry. Their meals consisted of the food they prepared and served in the soup kitchens. In the afternoons the group gathered for theological reflections based upon what they had seen and experienced that day. "Its pretty powerful stuff," observed sponsor Mother Mary. "No one returns without having been made aware of our deep interconnectedness in a very profound manner." Contact the Rev. David Krause, 806.765.0037 Canterbury@nwt.org

Iglesia Santiago Apostol Easter Celebration

Iglesia Santiago Apostol in Chihuahua City will hold its first service in the new sanctuary on Easter Day. The 4000 square foot
church holds 300-350 souls and was built at a cost of $115,000. Most of the gifts of money and effort to complete the church
came from the Diocese of Northwest Texas. Harold Mueller of Emmanuel supervised much of the construction. During spring
break 28 people from Emmanuel and Good Shepherd in San Angelo, and Heavenly Rest in Abilene, led by the Roz Thomas,
Becky McClure and Harold Mueller, traveled to Mexico: some to Chihuahua City to paint the outside of the new church and
some to Cuauatemoc to paint the new orphanage that is part of Christ the King where Fr. Greg Spinks is vicar. Two vans and a
car will be sent to Northern Mexico next month to support the ministries there. For more information contact Glenn Polhemus,
safy@wcc.net, 915.468.3011.

of our churches.

We give thanks for our Companion Diocese - Spain.
We pray for the physical and spiritual well-being of the People and Clergy in the Episcopal Church of Spain. We ask Your
guidance in what we in Northwest Texas, USA, plan, communicate and do. Show us how to reflect the love we share in
Christ Jesus. Help us listen to, understand and appreciate our Spanish brothers and sisters. Enable an exchange that
enriches or worship, emboldens our action, and shows forth our Lord. AMEN.

ETSSW CONTINUING EDUCATION
June 3-7
by Bob Kinney

Bewildered about present day turmoil in the church? Looking back can give us many insights into what is happening today. Find out more during the continuing education program at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest June 3-7. Two Episcopal priests will offer complementary sessions that explore similarities between historical traditions and contemporary issues in Anglicanism and early Christianity. The Rev. Mark Harris, author and executive director of the Global Episcopal Mission (GEM) Network, will explore "Organic Anglicanism." The Rev. Cynthia Kittredge, Seminary of the Southwest New Testament professor, will lead "Conversation in the Canon." Harris points out that the diversity of opinion on many things that we in the Episcopal Church are struggling with today is the very thing that marks us as being faithful to the Anglican Tradition. The literature of early Christianity, Kittredge explains, shows the earliest communities to be complex, conflicted and interesting bodies who are working out problems of Christian identity and practice in a diverse world. Sound familiar? Extended course descriptions of both sessions at www.etss.edu/ConEd01.html. Registration Deadline: May 15. $225. An additional $150 room and board charge includes three daily meals and on-campus housing. Contact Nancy Busbey at 512.472.4133x322 busbey@etss.ed. Bob Kinney at bkinney@etss.edu 512.472.4133x343
