Wedding Preparations

The church really pulled together as a community this Saturday to help prepare for Aline and Eliel’s wedding. We have a lot to learn, as a church, about how to do these large celebrations, but we are pleased with how God is helping us get started. This is our second wedding on our property here. Weddings are an important part of social justice and neighborhood improvements. Most people who come to our church are not married. And their relationships are not everything they hoped they would be. We are sowing hope into these relationships.
