A CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC COVENANT COMMUNITY

Festival of Praise is our kick-off event for Convocation this year! This is an open event, which Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR is leading. We want everyone to invite family and friends. Please spread the word.

Convocation registration is now open! Please register as soon as possible! Early registration will help our team plan ahead. Please make sure to read the entirety of the message during registration, as there is a lot of important information. We will have to cap Children's Ministry numbers off this year. It will be first come, first serve. Any questions, please email: phoenixbranch@cityofthelord.org.

Register for 2025 Convocation

Spiritual Preparation: The OCC (Overall Community Council) are offering an encouragement to all members to engage in a process of preparation for the Convocation consisting of self-chosen acts of prayer (COTL prayer recommended), penance, and acts of charity for the purpose of becoming particularly disposed to grace of God's presence at the Convocation. Please read the attached letter.

PRAYER REQUESTS

From Jim Cleaton: Denise had her consultation on 1/14/25 to go over pathology reports of the biopsy, and unfortunately, it wasn't the news we were hoping for. She has gynecological cancer, and it is confirmed it is in the late stages. We have an oncology appointment next week to discuss specific treatment plans.

Denise has a sense of hope and wants to take this adventure with the Lord wherever He leads-her biggest worry is about everyone else!

As they are walking through this adventure, a meal train has been set up. It has been a big blessing to not have to worry about making food.
