Weekend #76 Serenade
Come and serenade the men and women of NTTD Weekend #76!

Prayer Wheel
Please sign up for the prayer wheel!
As we gear up for the next North Texas Tres Dias Weekends, we know that the teams are doing their very best to prepare to give their all to serve the Candidates who will be attending. As the community, it is our responsibility to make a petition of prayer on behalf of the candidates, team, and Rectors.
The most impactful way of praying is signing up for the 24/7 Palanca Prayer Wheel. Remember, everyone who signs up to pray will have their name displayed during the weekend to show the candidates how the community is supporting them.
Please step up, and pick a time!
Click on the button below to be taken to the prayer wheel. If you only see the Men's List, scroll down to see the Women's List.
You can also visit the NTTD App to sign up for the Prayer Wheel.

Weekend #76 Men's Rector

Verse: "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Colors: Black and Tan
Song: "Voice of Truth", Casting Crowns
My name is Kurt Sadowski, I attended North Texas Tres Dias #51, and I sat at the Table of Luke. My wife, Grace, our kids and I serve and Worship at The Bridge Community Fellowship in Lucas, Texas.
Well, we have just finished our fourth and final team meeting. We have prepared well, we prayed together, built camaraderie and worshipped our Lord together.
I believe the team of NTTD #76 has bonded and we are ready to show up October 10th as one Unified team. Ready to serve and love on the men of NTTD #76.
Please, continue to join us in prayer for the team and their families; as well as for the men that will be attending the weekend and their families. We are excited to watch God move and to witness what he does on this weekend.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
Let all that you do be done in love.

Weekend #76 Woman's Rector
Rector: Gayla Lewis
Theme: Hanging onto God’s Coattails
Verse: “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land.” Isaiah. 1:19
Colors: Blues and Whites
Song: “Trust and Obey”
My name is Gayla Lewis. I attended North Texas Tres Dias women’s weekend #11 where I sat at the table of Rachel. My husband, John, and I worship and serve at Gateway/Prosper.
This weekend will be awesome because the Lord will be there; it's His team and His weekend. It's been amazing to see the wonderful women (and 2 male spiritual directors) that the Lord has brought together for this venture. God is doing His thing, and we're just sort of riding on His coattails! We are excited about the candidates that the Lord is bringing to join us on this weekend. We've been praying for them for some time, and we look forward to meeting them in person.
We hope all the community is praying for us and the weekend. Apart from Him, we are nothing, and can do nothing of any eternal value. We'd love it if all of you would sign up for the prayer wheel to ensure that His will shall be accomplished.
Thank you, and De Colores!
Gayla Lewis, Rector
Palanca for Weekend #76
Please, don't forget to BE A LEVER!
Palanca is always needed on the Tres Dias Weekends! You can be the "lever" that will help someone on the weekend see Jesus working in their lives. So, get your Reunion Groups together and start hot glueing!
Did you know that you don't have to be on the team to write a "General Palanca Letter?" The candidates would be so blessed to see your prayer and blessing for them on the walls or in their Palanca bags!
You can drop off your Palanca during Send Off, or Serenade. Don't forget to make more than you think you should! Prepare for 42 candidates, and at least 80 team.
