CORN ROAST! For Mexico Independence Day

September 16^th, Mexican Independence Day, is met with celebrations in almost every home in Mexico- including our church plant, Calvary Grace & Truth.

Our church family gathered for a corn roast (Mexican “elotes”- corn-on-the-cob prepared with mayonnaise, grated cheese, lime, and chili powder), fellowship and games, to the sound of

traditional Mexican music.   And, a rare gift: there was no rain! (Of my years in Mexico, I expect rain every Independence Day).  Events like these bring so much unity to our church family- as we laugh and eat together.   

As I watched our happy church group on a perfect, sunny afternoon, under our Christian church sign, with our children running around, and hearing the joyful Mexican music, I was overcome with thankfulness for freedom to gather, to profess our faith, to raise our children in His way… ᵢViva México!
