Spanish Language Service at St. Matthew’s
Sunday, June 1, 2008, 5:15 PM
There are many Spanish speakers in the St. Matthew's congregation. Some of us are Americans of Hispanic descent; some of us are Anglos or from other backgrounds. We are from Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, Honduras, Bolivia, Cuba and, perhaps, Spain and other countries. At St. Matthew's we have over 60 members of our parish that speak Spanish as either a first language or a learned language. Some of us are fluent, some are eager learners. Many of us want to worship occasionally in Spanish, recognizing that it is a part of our lives and thus, another way of expressing our faith. The Book of Common Prayer has been translated into Spanish. The Rev. Merrill Wade will prepare an Order of Service that includes both the Spanish and English for the sake of those who might need help following the service. All who would like to be a part of a celebration of the Holy Eucharist in Spanish are invited to come to St. Matthew’s on Sunday, June 1, at 5:15 PM. We will conduct the service in Spanish and Merrill will preach the sermon in Spanish. After the service (around 45 minutes), let’s walk across the street to Molcas, the new Mexican restaurant on Mesa behind Mirabelle’s for dinner together!
