Back to School...


In March, school begins in Uruguay, and the students return, after two months’ vacation. This year, our Sunday school program also started in March, so children not only came back to the regular school, but also to the church school.

On Sunday, March 2nd, all children from the SS program came to the morning Sunday service, which was dedicated to them. Most of them sat in the first pews and received a special blessing for the new school year.

The women’s group organized and prepared some school bags full of school supplies, which had been donated by members of the VIM Teams.
From little Giovanni Rossi, a two and a half year old boy who is attending pre-school, to Soledad Ferrari, a fifteen-year old girl who is in high school, all were blessed by the pastor and members of the congregation. A special prayer was given for them and, after the service, all of them were greet by the people in a lovely way.
