A Puzzling venture…

The youth were put to the test when pieces of a puzzle were laid out for them to figure out.  No box top no direction as to what they were putting together.  All this was to show how the lack of a big picture can get us lost, and the importance of seeing the Bible’s bigger picture to understand the individual parts it contains.  Great job, Keila!

So how did it look?

We took some video of the acts that were presented on Sunday night and made a short compilation of the participation.  It was fun to see all those who were involved practice and prepare for this special day.  1More4Christ has talent.

¡Viva México!

 

We had a great fiesta after our service on Sunday with lots of participation in the form of cultural and Christian songs and dances.  Wow, talk about talent.  And after the dust settled, there was the classic “Pozole” dish we ate that was just out of this world.  We filled up our rented hall with guests and regulars.  It was an exciting night.  Tonight is Mexican Independence "Day."  So, “¡Viva México! You-all.

Child’s play?

Standing still is not a characteristic of our youth.  They manage to make everything into a race or a challenge.  Keila will be teaching these new believers about the Bible beginning with Genesis.  She’ll give them some broad strokes to help them remember the stories, eventually in the entire Old Testament. 

 

We will be joining the adolescent group together with the youth as they’ve gotten along well during the times we’ve had them mix.

Gearing up for growth

We had an outstanding group of musicians in our worship band on Sunday.  They did a great job in playing as Kiana led the group.  She’ll be in charge of worship for the month as we raise up leaders to take over different areas of responsibility in the congregation.  It is a joy to see each one develop, as they’ve been proven with time.

The real thing: behind the scenes

When the poofy hair and dress disappeared after Kiana’s fiesta, we celebrated her real birth date with a dear and special family at our home.  We had fun, laughs and a delicious cake.  Thank God for the simple pleasures in life.

Something big!

It’s easy for me to concentrate more on the people than on the decorations, so I appreciate our photographer-friend’s attention to detail in taking these of Kiana’s 15^th birthday.  Aside from helping us to remember the set up, it speaks to me of something big about to happen.  That’s where we are at in the church plant.  We’re glued to our seats anticipating God’s show…  And it’s stirring up some excitement.
