August Newsletter

August 2010

Moravian Latino Outreach



Aguí y Ahora!



Bienvenido! Hello Friends! This is the first edition of the Moravian Latino Outreach Newsletter which we are calling Aguí y Ahora to share with you what is happening Here and Now! This is the month of firsts – our core team met in July and many people are following their passions and gifts and signing up for teams. We had our first Familia event at College Hill Moravian Church which was a picnic to engage the community. In spite of incredibly hot weather, we met many people some of whom will be forming our first small group also at College Hill. We were blessed at this event by praise teams, cooks and greeters from College Hill, Edgeboro, East Hills, West Side, First Moravian Easton, Advent & El Shaddai. Thank you!

August will bring more firsts. Our first small group, called Manna, will start Tuesday nights in August at College Hill Moravian. This will include bible study, discussions and a chance for people to get to know each other. Pastor Tracy Robinson will initially lead this group.



Prayer Requests:

-Prayers about the South Side building for us to rent which will function as the hub for this ministry housing offices, meeting space and large group worship space.

-Prayers for a temporary place to start a Manna Small Group on the South Side. (Pastor Tracy has a meeting on August 4th about this.)
