was a very well planned and well thought out event. Committee members told us that plans began in earnest four months ago, and their hard work showed. Canopy tents were lent to the church for the day, and the whole setting was as beautiful as if it had been prepared for a wedding.
Pastor Canjura (left, above) flew in from Chicago. He was pastor at this church for an extended period of time during the 80's. He delivered the sermon. Our Pastor Mueller Jr. from Trinity -- Roselle, IL. was on hand for the ribbon cutting and official words of the dedication. Pastor Jasinto (the pastor of Resurrection Church) from Gualan also led the service. Pastor Byron Paz from the Lutheran Church in Puerto Barrios was the liturgist.All four pastors served processional communion to the large crowd. It was a very heartwarming, emotional service for the participants from Trinity. At a certain point, they called us all up onto the stage and handed us a plaque. I said a few words in Spanish on behalf of the group to thank them for this opportunity to work with them.
