EASTER SERVICE
First and last alike receive your reward;
rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not,
rejoice today for the Table is richly laden! - John Chrysostom (4th Century)
These are the words I read before our Easter feast this last Sunday. It's fitting when Table Church celebrates with a "richly laden" table of foodie goodness. Our Easter service was well attended and the lunch afterward brought in a few more. We had about 26 adults and 11 kids in attendance and we added a handful more at lunch. All in all, it was a wonderful morning where we sang, proclaimed the gospel of the Risen King, and feasted with blessed food and fellowship. One thing that we are deeply grateful to the Lord for is the good weather. On Saturday, it looked like it was going to rain on us which would have complicated the service a bit, but the Lord was gracious and we had beautiful, almost perfect, weather!
GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE
I had the great privilege to preach at Iglesia Cristiana Redimidos de Cristo for their Good Friday service. Multiple families from our church came to the event as well. If you'd like to listen to the sermon you can do so at their Facebook page.
BAPTISM SERVICE
I'm working backwards for this update. A few weeks ago we had another baptism service! Three families in our church had the great joy of baptizing their children. It was a beautiful time and we are grateful to God that family discipleship in the kingdom of God is taking place at Table Church. All in all, 6 kids declared their allegiance to King Jesus and were baptized!
PRAYER REQUESTS
We have an upcoming Volleyball Clinic that we will lead every Wednesday in the month of May. Pray that we meet new families and that the gospel we proclaim at every practice will bear fruit.
Table Church is looking for a building we can call our own. Please pray for discernment and God appointed openings on this front.
We have met many families and individuals who do not know Jesus. Please join us in praying that they come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your partnership with us! God is working in many ways and we anticipate more to come. We could not be doing what we are doing without your help in prayer and in gifts. If you haven't already checked out it, our website is tablechurchpr.com. There you can discover more about what we are doing and how you can partner with us to see a church planted and thriving in this west region of Puerto Rico!
