Via de Cristo is a Spanish phrase meaning “Way of Christ.” Via de Cristo is a highly structured three-day weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Christian people and bring them to a new awareness of living in God's grace. It is a combined effort of lay people and clergy toward renewal of the church.


“NLS 2010” — Minnesota to host the
2010 National Lutheran Secretariat

We are excited because Minnesota Via de Cristo is hosting this national event in July 2010!

It is inspiring to see what God is doing through Via de Cristo in other parts of the United States. The Minnesota Via de Cristo Council hopes that the Minnesota 4th Day Community will want to be a part of the preparations for NLS 2010 and the fellowship experience of the NLS meeting.

Tom and Deb Grzywinski have agreed to chair the hosting responsibilities for this event. We thank Tom and Deb for agreeing to accept God's call to this leadership position and pray for God's guidance with this effort. Tom and Deb can be reached at e-mail address -- 2010mnnlshost@mnviadecristo.org.

Many teams are required to support the NLS meeting, similar to putting together a weekend team. Via de Cristo members will be recruited to plan, build and conduct the weekend activities.

Christ is Counting on You for your support and participation in the National Lutheran Secretariat Meeting.
