New Assignment

I have a new job. Exciting! Really it is more an assignment than a job.

For 10 months to the day, I have been attending my church, Alas de Aguilas. I am there every Sunday, I take part in the weekly prayer group, participate in every class that is offered, and meet with my Pastors regularly. I've helped out with events. I bring items for the pantry, snacks for the kids, and a meal to sell when it is my turn. But so far God has not shown me how He would like me to serve my church on a regular basis.

About a month ago I shared that Pastora Ruth invited me to be part of the group of people who "gets things done".

So far we built an altar for the church using pallets and plywood. Now we are working on raising money to cover the pallets with carpet. We all think our plywood alter is beautiful because we've been wanting it for so long. But a visitor who didn't appreciate how much prayer and work went into the wooden altar might not see the beauty. It does need carpet, for sure. We are just excited to have an altar, period.

This is how the alter looks today.  We still need to finish one side and cover it with carpet.

Today we had a meeting about how we are going to raise more money for the carpet, sound equipment, and a sign outside so people will know where we are. We are going to have a barbecue in the church parking lot.  Part of our advertisement will be through our personal pages on Facebook and through the church's FB page. At the end of the meeting I suggested that we all send invites to our friends to "like" the Ministerio Alas de Aguilas FB page. I also suggested that we let people know what we are doing on the page, so they can see how they could help out.

Now I have a new assignment!  I am to be the English voice and also one of the photographers for my church's Facebook page. I was thinking about it on the way home. It's not a lot of work. I will really enjoy doing it. But it is a big responsibility that I am being trusted with. My publications will be in the name of the church.

Tomorrow I hope to set a final interview with the same people who invited me to the training last week. It will be awesome if we make it official this week.
