We live in a hectic society where the majority of people do not know how to have
personal quiet time. If we are not on our computer, we are with our ipad, cell phone,
calling or texting. Quiet time is becoming more a novelty than the norm. The words
of Jesus written over 2,000 years ago still have relevance to modern society; “Come to
Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” When our Savior
needed a break from His daily toil, He separated from the crowd, prayed and rested.
We need that kind of rest today. Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for
man and not man for the Sabbath.” (Mark 2:27, 28). The Sabbath is a means
by which our living pattern imitates God’s. Work is followed by rest.
Sabbath rest is a time for God’s people to think about and enjoy what God
has accomplished. The Hebrew word meaning “rest” embodies this idea,
“But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall
not do any work,” (Deut. 5:14). God’s people are directed to keep the Sabbath
because God delivered and redeemed His people from the bondage in
Egypt. Thus, the Sabbath is an ordinance that relates directly to redemption.
Sabbath rest also holds the promise of the ultimate deliverance that God will
accomplish for His people. As certainly as He delivered Israel from Egypt through
Moses, so will He deliver His people at the end of the age through the Great Redeemer.
Finally, the Sabbath includes the idea and practice of celebrating rest, or salvation. To this
end, God declared that His Sabbath was a day for public convocation. Let us “Experience
God’s Rest” during this Convocation as we celebrate what God has done for us.
May the 2014 Texico Convocation/Camp Meeting be a time of rest
from our daily labor as we remember God’s Holy “cathedral in time.”

“After Hours Stage”
Last year we started the “After Hours Stage” and we will continue it
again this year. If you have a talent for speaking, singing, reading poetry
or sharing God’s love in some other way, come and share your gifts. It
may be a short three-minute sermon, singing, mime or some other hidden talent. This will be a great place to see up-and-coming talent from
across the Texico Conference while catching up with old friends. Watch
for times posted each day during the Convocation so you won’t miss out!
Located between the ABC and Exhibits on the Lower Level.

Musical Guests
The King’s Heralds Quartet were founded in 1927 and throughout
the years, thirty men have been members. The current ones are Don
Scroggs-1st Tenor, Russell Hospedales-baritone, Jared Otto-2nd tenor,
and Jeff Pearles-bass. They’ve recorded over 100 albums in thirty
different languages and a variety of musical styles, making them a
favorite with audiences of all ages. The rich blend, harmony and balance
of their acappella style has been enjoyed not only in the United States,
but also in over 50 other countries. Our Lord has blessed them with
voices to make beautiful harmony, and, their desire is to spread God’s
message and love through praises to honor and glorify His name!
Salvador Navarrete nació en Veracruz, MX. Antes cantaba para el
mundo, pero desde el 14 de Febrero del 1997, decidió entregar su vida
a Cristo por medio del bautismo. ¡Desde ese momento decidió usar el
talento que Él le dio para cantarle alabanzas solo para honrar y glorificar Su nombre! Dios le ha dado la oportunidad de grabar tres CD’s y
cantar en diferentes lugares en Texas, Carolina del Norte, y en otros
estados. Ser usado para el servicio de Cristo es lo único que el desea.
