12/14/2011 Cancun Christian Fellowship Newsletter

Our Mission: We are servants of God by serving others. We share a responsibility to bring God's love to hurting people. We are a Christian outreach fellowship of believers dedicated to showing the people of the Yucatan Peninsula, through our teaching, actions and love, the life changing power of Jesus Christ.

If you are considering a commodity donation to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are items that are currently needed:
1. Children’s clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)

If you are in Cancun and have a clothing donation for our children, please contact Cherilyn for sorting, sizing and Wednesday delivery. Strive to make sure all items donated are clean and serviceable. Currently, we especially need clothing for young girls ages 6-11.

The spirit of Christmas needs to be replaced by the Spirit of Christ. The spirit of Christmas is annual but the Spirit of Christ is eternal. Unknown

With the financial help of our worldwide Mission Partners, this past week, volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship were able to provide a week’s supply of cheese (yellow and white), chicken, chorizo, pork, ham and turkey lunchmeat, salchicha, molida especial, rice, cereal, mermelada and milk to our Cancun Christian home. Groceries are purchased and delivered every Wednesday. If you would like to make a donation to our Casa Hogar Food Fund, please contact Cherilyn or Tom.

Gary and Carlisa, new Mission Partners from the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS, generously provided funding for new blankets for all of our children along with Esther and the Pastor. The blankets were purchased and delivered today. Thank you guys, words cannot express what this means to our family.

The Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza Christmas decoration was last night and we had a great turnout. The younger children had face paingint, played games, decorated cupcakes and sang songs. The boys were treated to a fun and games night at Peter Piper Pizza. It was a wonderful opportunity to spend time with our children and share God’s love.

As many of you know, just prior to the Sunday service we show different fishing videos from approximately 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM. We have a loyal group that shows up weekly to enjoy the fishing adventures. This week we will be highlighting fishing the waters around Homosassa, Florida. You are invited to come early and join in the fellowship.

Mark Shook will be providing this week’s Sunday service lesson on “How to Experience a Miracle”. If you cannot join us in person, we invite you to view the lesson at home. Please click on the link, open your hearts and enjoy. http://communityoffaith.lightcastmedia.com/console/3150/1231789646

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting. Elizabeth Bibesco

NEWS FLASH: Fritos Scoops are now located in the “organic food section” at Superama on Autopista 307. We stumbled on them by accident but find their new organic food status very appropriate.

Upcoming events:
• Christmas Eve at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza is the best way we can think of to prepare for Christmas Day. You are all invited to join us for the activities that will begin around 8:00 PM. Be sure to bring your camera. If you plan to attend, please let us know in advance so we can give Esther a head count.
• A special Christmas Day service is planned for our COF members and guests. The Christmas Day service will begin at 9:30 AM. Please join us for traditional Christmas music, a great lesson and fellowship with your Cancun Christian family.

Christmas is in 2 weeks and we continue with our plans for the children’s Christmas at Casa Hogar, our Cancun Christian home. You can sponsor a child’s Christmas joy with a $50.00 donation (and we could really use your help). To see last year’s Christmas activities, go to www.cancunchristianfellowship.com and click on the gallery.

That’s it for today…WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SUNDAY!!!
