A team from the Middletown Christian Church of Disciples of Christ arrived here from Louisville Kentucky Thursday night. They will be having Daily Vacation Bible School for the children of Pan de Vida and surrounding communities this week in addition to applying sod to the football field. One of the couples on the team have been living here in Querétaro for almost a year and felt led to bring a team from their home church in ministry. We were blessed to attend their church here in the city, Rose of Sharon, for our Easter morning services.
The weekend began with us going to San Miguel de Allendale on Good Friday to see the reenactment of Jesus' trial/crucifixion. Once the trial was over, a parade commenced and they marched around the city for 3 hours symbolizing the journey to Golgotha. Then we all returned to downtown Querétaro to watch some of the silent procession that happens to mourn Jesus' death. My battery in my camera had died as well but most of that parade was of different churches carrying man made crosses and having a chain around their ankle. They each wore tall pointed hoods with only holes for the eyes to look through and robes. Thankfully for those of us who are Christians, we know rejoicing comes as we celebrate on Sunday that Jesus' has Risen and come to be our Saviour.
After church service on Sunday, we had a reception with the team and then returned to Pan de Vida where a concert was held in praise and worship to our Risen Saviour. It was a wonderful time of fellowship as other local churches were invited to come and minister through music. Now everyone is gearing up for the upcoming "Thy Kingdom Come" DVBS.
