“Queremos conocer el evangelio, para reflejar el evangelio.” (“We want to know the gospel, so that we can reflect the gospel.”)
This Sunday, September 7, at 4 p.m. is the Inauguration Celebration for our new Spanish-speaking church plant, Iglesia Gracia Soberana de Gaithersburg (Sovereign Grace Church of Gaithersburg). Gracia Soberana is led by Joselo Mercado. Jose writes:
This Sunday we are looking to be able to reflect the gospel to our visitors by reaching out to them with joy and care. I am excited to be able to worship with some wonderful songs in Spanish with deep theological meaning that present clearly Christ and Him crucified. I’m also excited to be able to preach from 1 Corinthians 15 so I can proclaim the centrality of the Gospel in our church and how we want to Gospel to be the thing that informs everything that we do.
We are grateful to be able to use the Covenant Life Church Events Center—it’s a blessing for us as a church to be able to use such a great facility and to model to the Hispanic community the work that the Gospel has done in our lives that breaks all cultural and racial barriers. I thank God for the wonderful church plant team that He has provided, such a godly group of people that are laying their lives down to serve the mission together. We’re also looking forward to a small reception that we will have after the service. Please seize this opportunity to invite Spanish-speaking friends to our church service on the 7th. You can find invitations at the Welcome Center.
Clarification on who should come: I got it wrong on Sunday when I invited all English-speakers to the service. Jose and the members of Gracia Soberana would love to have non Spanish-speaking friends at the meeting, but would request that you only come if you are accompanying a Spanish-speaking guest, because they cannot handle the addition of a large English-speaking group at their meeting or reception. But let’s be praying that God would bring out many Spanish speakers this Sunday and in the weeks to come.
