Our church in Monterrey, called La Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) has a lot going for it. For starters, it is located on the Alameda (similar to a town square) in the heart of Monterrey. Talk about an ideal setting!
It is also our oldest congregation in Mexico, as well as our largest. It currently has around 120 members. The congregation has a long history of active ladies' groups, youth gatherings, and musicians.
The congregation continues to be an active one. Below is a picture of some of the women in the congregation, taken in April of this year. That Sunday, members handed out flowers as a way to recognize those who had helped give the church a thorough spring cleaning.
We attended the service, and I thought the presentation of flowers was quite touching (plus I am a firm believer in showing appreciation for helping hands!).
We are thankful for these active members and the way they use their gifts to bring praise to God. Keep this congregation and their pastor, Israel Rodriguez, in your prayers.
