Have you heard about the Via de Cristo? Wondered what it is? Well it is a Lutheran Lay lead movement based on the Roman Catholic Cursillo movement. This is a 72-hour weekend to explore what Christian/Lutheran spirituality is. The weekend consists of worship opportunities, food, meeting and dialoging with other lay people about our faith walk, singing and praying. The core of the weekend is based on 14 talks given by Lay and Clergy. The 14 talks are:

1. Ideals What is the motivating force for humanity?
2. Habitual Grace God's ideal or motivating force for humanity is his Grace.
3. Laity How God uses lay people to accomplish his mission?
 

4. Grace in Action Faith is our response to God's Grace.
5. Piety The tools we have to strengthen our faith.
6. Study How to deepen our understanding of Grace and Faith through study.
7. Means of Grace Why word and sacrament is so important.
8. Action How to put our piety and study to work in the world around us.
9. Obstacles to Grace How sin effects our lives and the remedies to sin.
10. Leaders Why God is looking for lay leaders and how you are one.
11. Environment How God puts us in environments to make a difference for him.
12. Life in Grace How do I take the Via de Cristo back to my life and church?
13. Christian Community In Action How the church can change the world.
14. Total Security in the 4^th day How do I make the Via de Cristo mean more than just a three day weekend?
