Casa de la Esperanza, House of Hope, Anahuac, Mexico 
Sixteen of us from Park Avenue were able to bless over fifty kids that call Casa “Home”.  If you were to ask any of us, we were the ones that were blessed.  Daily we worked on projects at the campus and spent our afternoons and evenings playing games, sports, crafts, movies, jumping rope, playing in the rain, devotionals and eating every meal with these precious children. We always enjoy a cookout of hamburgers on the grill and later s’mores around the campfire worshiping in Spanish and English. Yes, God was surrounding us at every moment. Thank you, Park Avenue for your yearly support of this mission that we dearly love. - Basil
 
 
TODD’S TAKE
Good morning and welcome to worship! What an exciting week it's been at PACOC with our Christian Theater Workshop bringing together 140 children and countless dedicated volunteers. Don't miss the final performance of "Rising Son" today at 4 pm—come celebrate these young performers and witness a beautiful reminder of God's incredible love shown through Jesus Christ.
 
In today's message, we'll explore two of Jesus' parables that reveal this profound truth: God's love for us is immeasurable and unwavering, even in our moments of weakness and doubt. Our God is truly a God of love!
