Kick Off Sunday

Take an empty former bar/ cafe building... fill it with love, paint and chairs-- and....
This was part of our final "work crew" on Saturday to clean the new cafe, and get it ready for a kick-off Sunday (no- not the Super Bowl kick off, but something much more important!). The kick off of a worship center in the town of Bormujos (and much more, to be used for classes & workshops, & small groups & kids' programs). On the right are our 2 new interns, Johelen and Andrea.
Today our new church start in this suburb pueblo just had it's first event in the new building we are renting (a former bar, cafe)
Actually, it was the first un-official start of our Sunday worship. Previously we met each Thursday in a restaurant. But because we have no water or electricity, yet, we are not quite official in this location for meetings. We also need to buy a small kitchen, lamps & lights as well as 2 staircases that are missing or not useable, etc. And more CHAIRS-- we ran out!
I thought you'd enjoy seeing the difference in the LOOK of our new "home" after 1 more week of painting and cleaning, putting together furniture, etcetera. (see blog from a few days ago)
It was a blessed day-- with over 50 attending. You go down the stairs from the cafe area to the worship center.
Since we don't have our "own" band/music team yet, we'll be enjoying visitors each week from other churches.
