Christmas in August 2020

Every year we as a church travel to Tijuana, Mexico in December and celebrate Christmas with our friends! In our current Covid-19 season, we are not sure what our Christmas celebration will look like, but we want to do all we can to ensure our friends in Tijuana know that they are loved and prayed for by our church.

We recognize how busy and crazy Christmas time can be.  So we thought we would start our shopping and celebrating in August! You and your children can shop for a Christmas present for kids in Tijuana NOW! Let’s go Christmas Shopping in August!
