At this time, we have title to building 773 itself, but we do not own the land under and around it.<\/p>\n We are asking all friends and members to collaborate and assist in any and all ways possible, financially, with their skills and time, so that we can make this purchase also a reality. \u00a0We ask you to give generously, as you are willing and able.<\/p>\n Please contact\u00a0Leslie, our church secretary, for details on how you can make donations to this fundraising, or contact one of the Council members for more details if you have any questions.<\/p>\n We would appreciate greatly any volunteers that can assist with either:<\/p>\n in Spanish as we progress on this project.<\/p>\n We would also appreciate feedback and constructive suggestions regarding content of the website which should be updated at this time. \u00a0We appreciate any and all assistance that can be given. For volunteering or simply providing feedback about the website, please write to us at the newsletter email address.<\/p>\n Our \u00a0Guest\u00a0speaker for the English service for Sunday, June 26th will be Pastor Eduardo Smith<\/p>\n We will advise the speaker for the June 26th service this coming week, as we are waiting for confirmation.<\/p>\n We will reschedule the council meeting, so that Council and Church members are able to attend the funeral and repass of Rev. Luis Veagra.<\/p>\n Douglas and Aleta Shepler arrive for their 3 month Sabbatical, joining Balboa Union Church as missionary pastors.<\/p>\n They will be with us until the end of September.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Spanish service will start a little later on Sunday the 3rd of July, as we jointly celebrate all the goings on and happenings in Balboa Union Church!<\/p>\n Thank you all for continuing to pray for me.\u00a0 I am doing so much better with my physical therapy three times a week.\u00a0 The muscles had wasted away significantly, and\u00a0it will take several more months to restore them so I can walk well and have strength in my arms, back and stomach area.\u00a0 Many say that it is really only the reason I am doing so well is because of prayer. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
