Welcome one
another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. –Romans
15:7 (NRSV)
Parroquia Luterana San Jose, a joint ministry of the
ELCA and the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Beloit, Wis., is a place of worship that
is “for and with Latino people.” says its pastor Neddy Astudillo.
Beloit, Neddy says, is home to about 4,500 Latino
people, and the congregation’s ministries revolve around building community and
preserving the traditions of the people who live in the area. The congregation hosts Spanish guitar lessons
and Mexican folk dancing classes. It has
a Spanish language class and a radio program.
It also provides free Spanish-language counseling—the only such service
in the county.

How could Joyful Servant minister to and with the Latino community in the Newberg area? Pray about our recognition of and "welcome" to our Latino brothers and sisters.
