7-17 “El Gozo de Caminar con Jesús” /
“The Joy of Walking with Jesus” – Lúlu Santana
For those who often communicate in English, but
when it comes to faith and prayer ¡se nos sale en español!,
this workshop is for you! We live our Christian faith in the
ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. At every step, we
encounter Jesus who teaches us how to follow his way. The
journey tiene de todo, and in everything Jesus invites us to
live our faith with joy. The presentation will flow between English and Spanish (and
perhaps some Spanglish) as we explore the joy of walking with Jesus and how to
spread that joy.
