The United Methodist Church of North Chili and Rochester: Emmanuel United Methodist Church are launching a Hispanic outreach into the Chili, Gates, Churchville, and Spencerport areas. The effort is part of the church’s overall aim to be a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic church for all peoples and will begin with a series of bilingual Spanish-English family-oriented movie nights, February 26, March 4, 11, 18 and 25 at 5 p.m. at the United Methodist Church of North Chili, 2200 Westside Drive, Adam’s Fellowship Hall. Refreshments will be served. Each movie will be followed by a discussion about the Hispanic ministry. The order of movies are February 26, “Chestnut;” March 4, “Fireproof;” March 11, “Diaries of a Mad Black Woman;” March 18, “Facing the Giants;” and March 25, “My Family aka Mi Familia.”
The churches plan to hold the first worship services at the North Chili facility, a Celebration of Christ’s Passion, April 1 and a Celebration of Christ’s Resurrection, April 8 at 5 p.m.
The project is being led by the Reverend Dr. Wilfredo J. Baez, Pastor of the United Methodist Church of North Chili and Ruth Rosa, Lay Missioner from the Rochester: Emmanuel United Methodist Church. People willing to be part of the project can contact Rev. Baez at the United Methodist Church of North Chili, (585) 594-9111 or revwillbaez@gmail.com.
