			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>You are receiving this e-mail invitation because you are important to me.  An old African Proverb states, “It takes a village to raise a child.”  Lucey’s Home of Love and Hope (LHLH) is a grass-roots initiative with a mission of providing a permanent home to abandoned children (ages 8-18) currently in our state’s Protective Care System.</p>
<p>Your prayers or financial support of the upcoming (LHLH) gala will immediately place you among our list of village supporters that are committed to making this dream a reality.  Please visit our website www.luceyhomeofloveandhope.org  for more information on our vision of sharing love and hope to children in need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope this email finds you all doing well. I wanted to let you know what 33 The Ministry has coming over the next few months.</p>
<p>June 25,     Rapture Ruckus with special guest Set Free @ St. Luke&#8217;s UMC (Rapture Ruckus is a rapper from New Zealand) &#8211;                    Love Offering</p>
<p>July 17,      Christ Fest 2010 @ Kilgore City Park. Featuring Meredith Andrews with Shana Strange and Michael Janetis. There                    are several other bands that will be performing. Love Offering</p>
<p>July 24,      Jason Crabb with special guest Shana Strange @ St. Luke&#8217;s UMC. $18.00 advance, $20.00 at door</p>
<p>August 21,  Back to School Bash @ ST. Luke&#8217;s UMC. Free</p>

<p>I also want to thank everyone that helped with the Chris &amp; Conrad concert on May 31. What an event it was. A special thank you goes out to KVNE. Without their help we would have not filled every seat. If you see anyone from the station, please tell them how much we appreciate them and their ministry. It is a vital part of our community!!!! Please support them any way that you can.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Robert</p>
