Musical Service, 2nd Anniversary Celebration of Hispanic Congregation
September 23, 2006
As a 2nd Anniversary Celebration of the beginning of the Hispanic congregation, we had a joint musical service and fellowship for our English and Spanish congregations featuring a musical group from Peru. There were some members from Peru in our active Spanish congregation, and I believe some of them knew this group and invited them to Mableton First Baptist.
 | Some of the musical numbers featured just the sets of pipes that we sometimes call "shepherd's pipes" which are apparently common in Peru. |
They also had some small string instruments similar to a mandolin and percussion instruments. |  |
 | Ana Vela and Grace Lopez bring the introduction and welcome to the service. Both of them speak both languages, so they could greet both groups. |
On the right were the two pipers and the player of the small stringed instrument. |  |
 | On the left was the guitar and two percussionists. Together they had a full sound and the praise service was enjoyed by all. |

 | Pastor Javier Lopez of the Hispanic congregation spoke to the joint group in Spanish with Ana Vela translating to English. |
Then Pastor Tim Childers of the English congregation spoke to the group with Javier translating to Spanish. |  |
Afterward we had a fellowship time with food prepared by the Hispanic congregation.
