Celebrando y cumpliendo la Misión
La Iglesia Metodista Unida de Chula Vista esta celebrando 100 años de Misión y Servicio en la ciudad de Chula Vista. Esta congregación ha estado ubicada en tres diferentes sitios en la ciudad a lo largo de los 100 años. Actualmente en la calle East “H” esquina con Paseo Ranchero en el lado Este de la ciudad.
Mientras celebramos el pasado, reafirmamos el presente y la Misión que tenemos de ser una parte de la Iglesia de Jesucristo aquí en la tierra. En la tradición Metodista la Misión implica “ir por todo el mundo” y compartir el mensaje de Dios en Palabra y en hechos y nosotros como Iglesia ubicada en Chula Vista, en dos idiomas.
Como parte del replantear el futuro y añadiéndose a la celebración de la Congregación en Español nuestra Iglesia ve con esperanza el nuevo proyecto de relanzar actividades en el área oeste del “805” y así extender el mensaje de Dios a más personas en dos idiomas.
Les invitamos a celebrar con nosotros este domingo 18 de Septiembre a las 11:00 AM en un Servicio de Acción de Gracias y conocer los planes de extender la obra “por todo el mundo” comenzando en nuestra comunidad. Tendremos comida al terminar la Reunión de Celebración y Ud. está invitado.
