Note from Missionaries Kate and David

Here is a note from Kate and David. Also check out their newest newsletter posted here and also on the ELCA website.

Dear St. Thomas Community:

We went by the church office the other day and found the Easter card sent to us by all of you at St. Thomas! Thank you so much for remembering us in your Holy Week observation. On Good Friday in our congregation we used the "Latin American Stations of the Cross" which are a series of painting with accompanying text produced by Argentine Nobel Prize winner (1980) Adolfo Perez Esquivel. They relate the Christ's journey to the Cross with contemporary issues in Latin American including human rights, destruction of the environment, and war. They were painted for the occasion of 500 years since the Conquest of the Americas. Here is the link: http://www.adolfoperezesquivel.com.ar/vc.htm.

We are very excited about all the preparations you are doing to receive Francesca! Martha and Jerry have been keeping us abreast of the plans and they sound wonderful!

Thank you for your support and interest in our ministry.

Peace,

Kate
