Visit update

Later this month ten Crescent Hill folks will travel to Guatemala for a nine-day visit with our friends, partners, and brothers and sisters in Christ there.  The team will spend most of its time in eastern Guatemala, around Lake Izabal, in areas where the Mayan indigenous Q’eqhchi’ culture predominate and where the Q’eqchi’ Estoreño Izabal Presbytery, with which CHPC is partnered, has some dozen worshiping communities. Team members will visit many of those communities in and around the towns of El Estor, Panzos, Rio Dulce, and – for the first time – Puerto Barrios and Livingston.  They will stay with families, in hotels, and at a seminary and will help lead worship and workshops.  They will also spend two nights in Guatemala City, where they hope to dialogue with activists with CEDEPCA (a progressive interdenominational theological ministry) and visit with Ana Lara, a one-time Crescent Hill elder. 

You have been and may continue to be involved with the partnership and visit through your prayers, financial contributions, participation in partnership- and visit-related events, and attention on Facebook and the Guatemala Crescent Hill blog.  Before and after worship on Sunday, June 12, we will ask as many of you who can to sign up as a prayer partner for ONE of the individual team members.  We ask you to write two or three notes for this person and give them to team leaders Perry Chang, Ben Langley, or Jane Larsen-Wigger, on Sunday, June 19, and to pray for this team member throughout the visit.  (Also on June 19, the congregation as a whole commission the team in worship.)  Hardy souls among you might also meet the team at the Louisville airport at 4:45 a.m. on Saturday, June 25, to wish team members well or welcome them back at 11:00 p.m. Sunday, July 3, at the airport.

Team members are:

Shannon Bostrom

Ben Bridgman

Cara Bridgman

Soni Castleberry

Perry Chang

Stephanie Gregory

Ben Langley
