A LOOK INSIDE:
Sweet friendship.
Santa Clara, Cuba
“Sweet friendship” was the title of a special program dedicated
to the Adventist Children’s Day, celebrated Sabbath October 30th
in Santa Clara, by Children Ministry.
We could enjoy the participation of the kids in the Sabbath School program
and in the adoration service. They performed two dramas: the story of
David and Goliat and “The gentle king”, this last one as a
preamble of the sermon “Jesus, the lawyer of the kids” in
charge of Mr. Emilio Alfonso, Sub-pastor and leader of children in this
church. “Have Jesus as your best friend, because he loves you so
much that he died for you. What kind of friend would do this?” was
the message by the Directress of Children Ministry in Santa Clara, Mrs.
Elizabeth Mesa, to all children here abroad.
