Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who participated in Guatemala Mission Weekend, September 19-21, especially to:

- Ada, Ana, and Andrea (and Doug and Lowell), who put together the Saturday morning fast and vigil.

- Speakers Delia Leal (who preached Sunday morning) and Dennis Smith (who spoke Monday evening), both of Guatemala City’s Central American Evangelical Center for Pastoral Studies.

- Ellen, who landed Crescent Hill church the two speakers; Pastor Jane, who arranged for hospitality for the speakers; and Soni, who set up for the Dennis Smith talk.

- The two dozen people who participated in the vigil and Dennis Smith talk (and others who fasted and prayed from afar) and the hundred plus people who watched, listened to, and welcomed Pastor Leal at church that Sunday.

- The half a dozen people who started the new Sunday school year in the bilingual class that is exploring the “What Is Ecumenism?” piece Crescent Hill folks sent to Estoreño Presbytery leaders.

- The half a dozen plus Crescent Hill folks who gathered after church that Sunday to brainstorm about how to do outreach about the joint Crescent Hill-James Lees-Covenant Community English as a foreign language ministry to Spanish-speaking residents of the Clifton Heights neighborhood, many of whom turn out to be from Guatemala.
