On Friday afternoon, the members of the Moca congregation invited their friends and neighbors to come and watch "The Passion of the Christ" with us at the church. All the benches and chairs were set up.
People started arriving and before long almost every spot was taken. Most of the members were in attendance but there were many, many new faces. The children sat up front and the majority of them sat through the entire film. A quick count came to 150 people present.
After the film, Pastor Alex gave a brief Law and Gospel presentation pointing out the real motive for Jesus' suffering and death. He also spoke of the hope and peace we have through knowing that He was suffering for MY sins, forgiving ME.
Everyone was invited to return on Sunday for part II of the story,
"The Road to Emmaus".
