Join members of our congregation as we go to Mexico July 16-24, 2005. We will explore cultural, economic, social, and political issues in Mexico from a faith perspective and have a great time together. We will also visit our missionary, David Brondos, and witness the great work he does as dean of the Theological Community in Mexico City. Total cost for the trip will be approximately $1000.00. Deadline for registration with a $100.00 deposit is April 1.
