Moving In At Lirio
After years of planning and changing of plans, false starts and dedicated efforts, the new chapel in Guatemala City is finished and occupied. In early March, we held our last service in the little chapel inside the mission walls, and on March 11, we entered the new chapel for a day of services and fellowship. It was a day of worshiping, remembering, and looking forward.
The new Lirio Chapel was ready for use in early March.

After a church meal, we entered a dedicatory service of singing and reminiscing. We recalled the history of the City congregation that began nearly forty years ago. We remembered the story of our new building, and the three Tony’s that invested a compiled total of three years to bring it to completion. We recognized others that had been a part of the final push to finish the final details.
Our new chapel is placed in the center of a residential community. We feel a responsibility to be good neighbors in the community, and provide a welcoming atmosphere to those around us. We pray that Christ would make us light and salt in this community of needy people.
