Baltimore Presbytery has just completed its first multi-destination, multi-congregational visit to El Centro Presbytery's northern tier churches. Covenant Presbyterian Church of Hagarstown, MD visited the IPRC church in Encrucijada. First Presbyterian Church of Howard County visited Calabazar de Sagua. Staff members of Baltimore Presbytery and the pastor of Northminster Presbyterian Church vsited Sagua la Grande. Veteran and new members of Light Street Presbyterian Church visited their existing partner congregation in Cabaiguan.

Having just returned on the morning of January 22, 2012, our reflections are not yet completely formed; but in a few weeks individuals and groups will be posting their thoughts here in the web site. Our hope is that by sharing these reflections we may empower others to join us in the partnership to begin to see the deep merits of this mission of accompaniment.

Blessings to all, who for a week put their comfort zones at risk to see how faith and love are always the richest rewards of such missions. We know - as do our Cuban brothers and sisters - that this love will continue to flourish between us.
