We had a wonderful week at Amor y paz after school this week with several new faces, both adults and children.
We celebtated Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday with the children and many pancakes and sausage, lots of syrup and butter. The kids loved it.
We spent an hour or so making leprechauns to welcome in the month of March.
We are going to splurge and take 6 of our oldest ladies (8th grade and younger to the movies on Saturday. We are going to see "Twilight". We adults are a little wary, but the kids are really excited.

Virgin of the Candelaria's Day
Día de la Candelaria ¡ Aleluya? Fue una gran celebración
Este evento se celebra el día 2 de febrero pero, este año lo celebramos el sábado 4 de febrero de las 6:30pm a 8:30pm, con una asistencia de 65 personas de las cuales al cortar la Rosca de Reyes, diez de ellas encontraron al niño Jesús.
La costumbre o tradición es que las personas que encontraron al niño Jesús dentro de la Rosca de Reyes traerán algo de comida para compartir. Este fue el Día, y hubo 180 tamales, ensalada, y Atole, suficiente para 65 personas que vinieron a continuar dando gracias a Dios por todas las bendiciones. La reflexión de la palabra y el compartir las buenas nuevas es parte de esta celebración. San Lucas 2: 21-38 fue la lectura especial del día y nos habla de la presentación de Jesús en el templo de acuerdo a la ley de Moisés. La presentación de Jesús en el templo, fue hecha en el mimo tiempo en que Simeón esperando la Restauraron de Israel, creía fielmente que el no moriría hasta ver al Mesías, y lo vio y dijo:”Ahora Dios, tu promesa esta cumplida; puedes dejar que tu siervo muera en paz. Por que ya he visto la salvación que has comenzado a realizar a la vista de todos los pueblos. La luz que alumbrara a las naciones y que será la gloria de tu pueblo Israel”
El pueblo de Dios en Amor y Paz IMU, en esta reflexión nuevamente confirma que la restauración de Israel continua, sabiendo que la salvación se nos dio a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y El es la gloria y luz que alumbra nuestro camino.
Virgin of The Candelaria’s Day ¡Alleluia ¡ Was a Great Blessing
It is regularly celebrated on February second but this year we celebrated it on February 4 from 6:30 to 8:30 with a attendance of 65 people at Epiphany Service, who cut the “Rosca de Reyes” It is a bread with round shape, with baby Jesus dolls in side. It is covered with colored sugar and special candies on the top. The imperfection of the shape and the many colors represent the mountains and the colors of nature where the three Kings were looking for The Baby Jesus. Ten persons founded the Baby Jesus. It is the tradition that the person who found the baby Jesus in side the “Rosca de Reyes”, has to bring food to share. This was the day when we had 180 tamales, salad, “atole” (hot drink) enough for 65 people who gather for continuing prayers and thanked God for the many blessing that they had received. The reflection of God’s word was the sharing of the good news, part of this celebration. Luke 2:21-38 was the scripture of the day and it’s telling us how Jesus was presented in the temple in the same time that Simeon was waiting for Israel’s Restoration, because he believed that he would not die until he sees the Messiah. When he sees the messiah, his exclamation was: now your promise is done; you can let your servant go in peace. I have seen the salvation that start to pay in the eyes of all the people. The light will shine through all nations and will be the glory of your people Israel.
The people in Amor y Paz Iglesia Metodista Unida, in this reflection again we, confirm that Restoration of Israel continues, with the knowledge that salvation was give to us through Jesus the Christ and he is the glory and the light that shines in our lives.
