Easter Sunday

Resurrection Day is always a special time of remembrance. In Mexico churches typically have a sunrise service, directed by the women in the church, as the women were the first to hear the good news of Christ's resurrection. People wear white to remember Jesus in his glorified body. "Agua Viva" celebrated Easter with the traditional sunrise service, complete with special musical participations.

We then had breakfast together, followed by the worship service.

In this service we accepted

two women as members, one, Brenda, by baptism

the other, Alejandra, transfered her membership. We also celebrated the baptism of Alejandra's daughter, Imelda.

We concluded the celebration with the Lord's supper.

Store Fronts at "Principe de Paz"

The group from Oak Harbor also helped to paint the five store fronts at the "Prince of Peace" church. The stores are almost ready to rent out! The money raised will help to purchase property for more missions in Tijuana.

New Kitchen for Agua Viva

This spring a group from Oak Harbor CRC, (Oak Harbor WA) helped with building a kitchen for the "Agua Viva" Mission. This will be a great help as we have a potluck dinner the last Sunday of each month, as well as on several holidays. The kitchen was temporarily in one of the classrooms. The ladies are very excited to have a "real" kitchen. They showed their appreciation by providing dinner for the group one evening.
