Mission's Month - International Supper


Every year we take a month and focus on missions. One of the highlights of the year for us is our International Supper. This time it was no exception. We ask for volunteers to decorate a table representing the country of their choice. This year we had Greece, Mexico, United States, and Peru. The food was a mixture from all over the world. We had enough to feed an army, like always. Mike preached on the "Mission of the Church - Five things you should be doing to fulfill your purpose".
Everyone enjoyed themselves and are being challenged to trust God more this year in their giving to missions.
For our closing service on May 27, we will have Pastor Enoc Guitierrez (hijo) from Mexico with us to give us the last challenge.
Since this is missions month, I'd like to mention and ask for your prayers for our two children, Michael and Stephany. On May 23 they leave for a mission's trip to Kibera, Kenya. They will be working with New Hope Ministries in a youth camp, Bible club, and church services.

Special Meetings with Alejandro Samariani

The last weekend of April we had special meetings with a good friend of ours who is an evangelist-Alejandro Samariani. Friday night we had an activity with the teens. Bro. Alejandro played games with the kids and then gave a good message on setting goals. Saturday night he taught a message at the men's meeting.  Sunday he taught in Sunday morning Sunday school and preached in our evening services.  It was a very special time for the church and his messages were a great encouragement.  His son Jonathan also sang for us!!  What a wonderful weekend!
