READ ABOUT: Commitment: Part 2
In
last month's Cord I wrote to you about commitment to our SFO way of
fraternity life. Once again I want to remind
you of the importance of attending the fraternity gatherings and other
activities associated with fraternity life.
Our fraternity sponsors or participates as a group in many activities
throughout the year. I urge you most strongly
to read the list of our activities (click
here for the check list!) and check off
those in which you have participated. This will provide
you with a visual representation of your commitment to the SFO way of
life. Please remember that if you are homebound
or permanently excused, your responsibility is to be with us in prayer.
If you have family or work commitments, you
should let the Council know when you cannot participate. (Even
though family and work may take us away from the
fraternity some of the time,
we should try to plan ahead to participate in as many activities as
possible.)
Since our Continuing
Formation this month will be on the Bible, click here

from the national
newsletter the TAU.
