“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them” Denis Waitley

If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are some items that are currently needed:
1. Milk / Cheese / Eggs
2. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
3. Diapers Size Jumbo

The Lipp brothers were watching over our children again this week and furnished Jamil with diapers. Thanks boys.

With your financial help, volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship purchased and delivered a week’s supply of eggs, cheese, chicken, chorizo, beef, cereal, rice and beans to our Christian home. Groceries are purchased and delivered every Wednesday. If you would like to make a donation to the Casa Hogar Food Fund, please see Cherilyn or Tom.

OK, we are finally moving forward with the “Cancun Christian Fellowship” face book page. New pictures were added this week and all are pictures that do not currently appear on our website.

Our momentum in our Cancun English church Sunday service is growing. Thirty people attend last Sunday’s worship service. There were several out-of-town guests including Alex Schmidt, Pierre Crespo, Gavin Penny, Vicki Leonard and Cassandra Campbell.

Jim Fox, invited by Tom, Henry and TJ, also attended our Sunday English church service. With any luck, Jim will become a regular.

We have been blessed with a Casa Hogar site visit and donation benefiting our Christian Mission Outreach. The Jon Green family (Jon, Kristi, Jared and Kaylin from Spokane, WA) visited our children’s home last Saturday, brought games, books and other entertaining material for our children and presented us with a donation to assist in our weekly food purchases. It was a sincere pleasure spending time with the Green family and we look forward to seeing them again in the near future. Please see pictures of the Green’s visit on our face book page and join us in welcoming them to our Mission Outreach worldwide family.

“When you talk, you repeat what you already know; when you listen, you often learn something” Jared Sparks

After church on most Sundays, several families get together for lunch and relaxing conversation. If you would like to join us (and we would love to have you), please tell Cherilyn or Tom and they will be happy to give you the current location. These lunches are usually in traditional Mexican restaurants and you will not have to take your banker along to cover your bill. It is an opportunity to spend meaningful time with your family… and yes, children are always welcome.

Don’t forget to put the middle of June on your calendar if you would like to join us in manual labor at our Cancun orphanage. All you need is gloves, jeans, foot protection and compassion to make a difference in the lives of others. Talk to Tom for additional information.

We are considering July 3rd for our next Cancun English Church Luncheon. The date falls on Sunday and it is 4th of July weekend. We will keep you posted as arrangements progress. The last two luncheons have been a great success and a wonderful way for our Christian family to get together for good food and great conversation. Shakey’s Pizza in Malecon Americas seems to work for everyone and it also offers a playground for the younger children. We hope to see all of you there. The luncheon will be open to all church members and Mission Partners (that covers approximately 150 people).

It was truly nice seeing Harold, Tracy and the boys back in Cancun and in our Sunday English service. Welcome Home Chapman family!

This Sunday’s service will be presented by Damon Shook and is titled “You Are Invited”. We have previewed the lesson and feel you will enjoy it. We always appreciate Damon’s “Old School” delivery of our Sunday message.

Juliette’s parents from Michigan, Garry and Carolyn Mudge, were in our Cancun English church service Sunday and it is always good seeing them. We hope they join us again in the near future.
