Much Excitement!

In honor of Carlos' return from World Youth Day

Cheers:

  Yesterday and today we had Cuban Coffee in honor of Carlos returning safely from World Youth Day. He was gone for 5 weeks with the Home of the Mother on a pilgrimage prior to the World Youth Day events. The office has been quieter since he was gone, but boy did that change yesterday. His arrival back up to the office brought much excitement! The Lumen family is now complete! 

Hurricane Irene:

Irene Cat 2 Hurricane

On Monday, August 22nd, Jacksonville woke up to the news that Irene would hit us early Saturday Morning. Now, thanks be to God we were only affected by Irene's outer bands. This morning we were greeted with random down pours and a sky that made us feel like we were in a movie. The surfers were enjoying what Irene had to offer them. Our prayers today were offered up for everyone on on the East Coast who will be drastically effected by Irene. These pictures were taken by Nicol on her drive into work. 

Update:

1. Our Avid computer(the one that decided to take last Friday off) is barley hanging on. We have a new computer on it's way. 

Prayers:

1. Please pray for the Schwartz family. Ron Schwartz was a friend of Lumen and he joined our Lord on August 25th. Ron battled cancer for the last 6 years and he did so courageously. Ron leaves behind his wife and 3 wonderful children. 

2. Please continue to pray for us and for The Magnificat Cafe as we discern what is God's will for us and where He would like for us to be in regards to our office space.
3. Our computer will hold on and not permanently take a vacation until our new one arrives.
4. Skiff and AJ- we will have no more distractions and the financial and spiritual support will continue to come in. 


Thank you for taking the time to follow us and you all are in our prayers everyday. Have a wonderful blessed and safe weekend! ~Lumen Crew
