July 31st, 2012  / Author: Juan Gattinoni

Yes Sir, we crossed the Río de la Plata and arrived at Playa Fomento, Colonia Valdense, Uruguay. It was an awesome and blessed experience. We went to the beach, ate delicious meals, played games and learned about the will of God in our lives. We studied Ephesians 3: 14 “For this reason I kneel before the Father”.

Good indeed!

They say “one example will suffice to prove it”.

 

 

This picture reflects the spirit of joy and fellowship that prevailed at the teenagers’ camp, Summer 2012.

Boys and girls got to the top of the cliff to watch the sunset and a few minutes later, the moon rise from the sea: a perfect opportunity to admire the Creation of God.

Have a blessed school year!

Just as we did last year, Methodist Church Cristo Rey celebrated a special worship service to bless and pray for the children on the eve of a new school year.

Each student received a “guardapolvo”  (white long coat used as uniform at public schools) and some school supplies. But overall, they were given prayers and blessings from our ministers, who laid on their hands for the gift of the Holy Spirit on them.

Great stew (locro) for the neighborhood at Villa Ballester

July 31st, 2012  / Author: Juan Gattinoni

We had a great time celebrating Flag’s Day (June 20th) at Villa Ballester.

Almost 70 people enjoyed a wonderful time! We shared “locro”, cooked by Paul, Claudia and Marcelo Horisberger. We played games and sang songs! There were seven different games we could play and check our skills…

More than 100 persons tasted the “locro”. It was a sunny day and we had a great time playing, chatting and getting to know each other. This way, the congregation at the Methodist Church in Villa Ballester opened their doors to the community.

Thank you Lord, for your love and mercy!
