Riveras X-Mas Dinner

On Sunday the 19 Riveras had there X-Mas Dinner. There were over 100 people there (only members). Everything started at 3:30pm where kids from the church were able to break a pinata. We had a music group(members from the church) play during the afternoon. God was so good because we were short on food but everyone(except myself :( were able to eat. But you know the coke could not be left out, there was even bottle left over. At this time we gave out 48 food bags to only the members of the church as well as every child there received there x-mas gift. We had a few games and most of all we had a great time. Here are a few pictures, Enjoy! Will keep on posted more during the week.




The Bags look beautiful!! WAY TO GO ANNETTE!





Breaking the pinata!

Yummy cupcakes, That I did eat!




These two men helped out so well, we were not going to have servers. They did a good job. Thanks Eric(Eddie) and Ivan!


Music group "Fuego Divino" playing Mexican style. Everyone was moving their head.








Christmas was in the air. Grecia (baby girl in hat) is a miracle baby, God has healed her. Her parents were told she had a skin condition and was told that she would not grow. God proved them wrong. She had NO skin condition and is growing! She is a year and a half.






The girl and the man in the picture are saying a joke so they could win a prize. Me personally thought the girl deserved it but not everyone thought talking about bow movement was right when they had finish eating. Am still laughing, maybe because I didn't eat!






Handing out the food bags.





This is our special girl in Riveras. Her name is Anita and is mentally challenge. She is 26 dyrs old and was so excited to receive a baby for a present.











These people where each given 100 pesos (15 dlls) gift certficate so they could by extra food at the local store. They are people that have helped out all year long at church and it was time that the help went to them. A total of 25 people received them.


THANKS ACORN CLUB!

These are the two families in The Valley of Juarez that thanks to the Acorn Club in NMC they will for sure have a great Christmas season. These two families are:


The Ruiz Family, members of the church in Riveras. Each member of the Ruiz Family except for youth girl is in the worship team at the church. Brother Rodolfo(dad) is the one that works. He works as the person that goes to your house and charges you if you owe money at a store.







The next family is The Family of our Sister Maria. Maria and her family go to church in El Millon. As many of you will see in the picture, Maria is Estella's mom. Maria with her children do not miss a single service of church, and thank God her husband allows her to go. Leon(dad) is the only one in the family that works and Maria has been recently dismissed from her job at the factory plant. This family is The Reyes Martinez Family.




Again we want to say a big big thank you to everyone of the kids in the Acorn Club that allow these two families to have a great Christmas season. The Reyes-Martinez and Ruiz are praying for each one of you, so that you too could have a merry christmas! You guys are great,way to go!
