Mother's Day & Youth Night

On October 17th. Argentina celebrates Mother's Day. This year we worked with our youth to prepare them for heading up the entire worship service.  They did a fabulous job picking hymns, leading the service, playing all the instruments, reading Scripture, poems and several meditations.  The kids from children's church also sang.  Pray for God to raise up faithful servants from among our youth!
Diego was the service leader.  Some of you may remember praying for him a couple of years ago when he suffered a stroke while playing soccer.  You would never know today that anything happened to him.



Children's church is a new ministry in our church, which helps to provide three things:  teaching oriented to children ages 4 to 8 years; ministry opportunity, especially for our youth; a little quieter atmosphere for the preaching time in the worship service!  The children's church kids prepared a special number for the mothers.
Ailen was one of two young ladies who shared a poem in honor of our mothers.
Walter had the important task of giving the announcements.  Many of you prayed for Walter around the same time as Diego.  He has suffered from a complex sickness involving his immune system.  His health is stable, and past symptoms cured.

Rocio was our pianist.
Most of the youth group sang a special number.
Braian did Scripture reading.  Braian and his family attend church regularly and need prayer for salvation.
Jonathon read a meditation.  He's growing in Christ, and will be baptized in November.
Our son Danny also read a meditation, and obviously we're proud of him!
Matias read the final meditation.  Matias is brother to Walter (above), and really seems to be growing spiritually.
They youth did a fine job with the music, which they participate in regularly.
An excellent group was in attendance for the Mother's Day special meeting.
