5th Anniversary of the church in Bernal

Today we celebrated the 5th anniversary of the beginning of the church here in Bernal. We had a full house and had a good morning. On Wednesday, the ladies got together and cleaned the building, chairs, windows and all. Starla made curtains for the windows---the purchase of the fabric has been the ladies Sunday meal project for the last few months. Others prepared by decorating and making bookmarks for each one.

About three months ago while we were downtown Bernal we ran into a lady who used to come to church from here in town. She later left town because of abuse from her husband. Months later she returned with him, but was never allowed to attend church. It was a real surprise this morning when she walked in with her daughters and granddaughter, as well as a friend and her children. Please pray for Lupita, that we would be able to visit with her and encourage her, and that she would make a strong decision to follow the Lord.

Here are a few pictures of the morning:
