Stories - Part 2

The meaning behind our subtitle:

"Religious people have rules to follow, but missionaries have stories to tell."

The quote comes from Bruce Wesley, our lead pastor at CCCC.

Christy's 2010 Reading List

Okay guys, since everyone has been asking me which books I'm going to read this year (I'm trying to sound like a prominent blogger) and since I am procrastinating to begin our 2nd Newsletter (you all better read those because they are a lot of work!), here is my tentative book list.

Welcome to Igreja Presbiteriana na Barra da Tijuca!

I wanted to formally introduce you to what will be our home church there in Rio - Barra Presbiteriana (transliterated- Presbyterian Church of the Tijuca Neighborhood). Check out the website http://www.ipbarra.org.br/ to see some pictures of the various ministries they're involved in. Yes, it's in Portuguese, but all you have to do is click the red box that says "Galeria de Fotos." Can anybody tell me what that means without using an online translator? It's very simple!

Below is a Google map of where the church is located. Around there, the area called Barra da Tijuca, is where we will be living. Once we secure our flights (and thus, our arrival date) our friend Jay will be able to search for our apartment. Any bets on a street we should live on?
