Tijuana mission and Discipleship at The Place
Yes...it is true. Even though the building is up, Maranatha has asked us if a small group is willing to help finish the church by doing some painting and electrical work. A small group is going down during the week of September 17-24 to help. If you are interested, please contact Pastor Simon right away. The Place will help with the expenses and you do not have to go for the whole time.
And, starting in September we are going to be doing some discipleship classes. Pastor Simon is going to be leading a group through a 10 week Discipleship class. Most likely, we will have a group meeting on Wednesday nights and one on Sabbath mornings. If you are interested, please let Pastor Simon know, or sign up on the interest list at church. The group size will be limited, so get in early if you are interested.
