A NEW Preacher in the HOUSE

 

Pastor Francisco F. Ventura C. started working with us mid-September and has taken on a greater role in preaching.  He’s getting to know the members of the congregation and fitting in well, along with his family.  Please pray for this leadership transition as he begins pastoring.

All in line

Our youth continue to amaze me with their commitment and desire to be mature believers.  We had a good size group this Saturday with lots of interaction and fun.

Meet and Greet

As of September 12 our congregation welcomed the new pastor, Francisco and his family.  His son played at a social that we had to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day.  Here he is singing to his son’s guitar play.  Welcome Francisco.

Last chance

Our outing for baptisms is still being remembered by the members of the congregation.  And for me it was bitter sweet knowing that this was probably the last time I’d be baptizing here, opening the door to the new pastor to do so.  Good times!

Shining

We had a social as a congregation and several of our guitar players had an opportunity to “shine” by playing a solo for the congregation.  It was wonderful to see how well they did.

Struggles

 This last week we admitted Kiana to the hospital because of some dangerous vitals.  She’s been a real trooper and is doing better.  Keila came up from her semester abroad to encourage her.  We trust that Kiana will soon be back to normal.  Thanks to all who have been praying for her.

Sunday in the park 2

Our reason for going to the park was to baptize 7 who have been waiting for the opportunity.  So in some very cold water, we welcomed 7 new members into the church and into our friendships.  The heavens also opened up to give us sun that day.
