Church Move

Yes, our Sunday morning services are finally moving…

As many of you remember, it was our first Sunday back from Canada when we found out that the party hall we rent for Sunday services was being converted into squash courts. But this began weeks and weeks of not knowing how long we would have.

Six weeks – one more week – how about after Christmas? Maybe February. Basically, the owners were waiting for the paperwork to come through so they could start construction.

But, finally, we find ourselves having to move. We’re not moving far away – it’s a “party garden”, in the same community. There are pros and cons to this place, and we haven’t actually met there yet, so we’ll have to see how it goes. It is a little more expensive, but attainable at this point. The good news is that it should give us some room to grow.

I’ll try to give you more details after we’ve actually had a service there.

However, it is definitely another temporary place. I don’t just mean temporary as everything in this world is temporary, I mean that we’re not sure how long it will work for us. And we’re only renting it for a set time Sunday mornings. AND even those mornings won’t always be guaranteed, if other events take precedent.

So we would certainly appreciate your prayers that this place will work for us (this Sunday, the 10th of March, will be our first Sunday there), and that the Lord would provide a more permanent place that we could use to reach out to this community, and provide more services during the week.

I’ll try to take some pictures and/or video on Sunday so you can see what it’s like!

To make things more confusing, we’re there for a week, and then we’ll take a Sunday “off” to meet with the other two churches in Jesús María (the only building that can hold all of us!), where we will be having a special joint baptism service this St. Patrick’s Day.

No matter where we are – we’re thankful that the Lord is building the Church – the people that are coming to Him!
