Celebrate
Today is the 4th Sunday of Lent, as has been the case with every Sunday, the word for today, again, is celebrate. This morning in worship was a true celebration. Vida Nueva (the church were we usually attend in Bogota) hosted the Assembly worship. It was a packed house! The new Executive Committee of the church, including the new bishop, were commissioned and installed in worship.
