Hi everyone. Thanks for dropping by to read the blog. Since our last blog we have had a couple of special events come and go.

First was a baptism. It is the second in three weeks and certainly a happy moment for the whole church.

On to to other matters; April 24 our Benevolence Ministry organized an outreach at a municipally sponcered retirement home. Many of the elderly in this institution have no family and depend totally on the city for their needs. Our church organized and teamed up with another church to provide a program as well as gifts of personal effects for the residents. In all there were over 25 who participated in the event.

Yesterday was Mothers' Day, a huge event in the cultural calendar in Puerto Rico. It ranks up there right after Christmas. Our church rose to the occasion. A flower and gift was given to every mother present. Two of our children/youth presented special music and one of our ladies delivered a charge to the mothers and all present. Afterwards a great dinner was served to one and all.

This weekend is the men's retreat. We will fill you in on the details next time.

Blessings.

Johnathan and Mary
