Two Languages…Two Cultures…One Church!

Back in November we posted with some pictures of our first bilingual service. The intent was to give the Spanish and English-speaking groups an opportunity to come together for fellowship and breaking of bread (lunch). It was a huge success and the congregation has been asking for more services like that.

Our usual Sunday schedule has service in Spanish at 9:00 a.m. followed by a short time of refreshments and fellowship, followed by the service in English at 11:00. The short time of refreshments in-between services is an encouragement for the two groups to spend some time in fellowship.

With growth comes change, and thus a name-change has been proposed for the church to reflect the two groups. Calvary Chapel Pura Vida and San Pedro Christian Fellowship will be known as Calvary Chapel Comunidad Cristiana San Pedro when the time comes. The proposed sign incorporates both languages and both churches.

The logo is based on Acts 2:42:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
As we move to develop unity we are planning outreaches that will involve the entire congregation, and our most recent will be coming up in March…stay tuned.
