Welcome Muniz Family

We at Faith are privileged to welcome the Muniz family - Joanna, Fabio, and their two daughters, ages 13 and 8 - who will be with us at both services on Sunday, September 13, followed by lunch after the second service.

The Muniz family serves with the Covenant in Lyon, France, where, among other ministries, they have started an open café as a way to build relationships with neighbors and introduce them to Christ. While the family is in the U.S. for the year, the café is being managed by some of their French friends.

Please join us in praying for the Muniz family. Pray for a positive school year for their daughters and that they will find Christian friends. Also pray for stamina and strength for Fabio as he has a very busy schedule visiting and supporting congregations.

We look forward to welcoming the Muniz family and spending time with them on Sunday!
