LA TRINIDAD UMC NEEDS OUR HELP
This special request came from our district office. La Trinidad (and Diamond Hill ministries) have been anticipating a full-time appointment for close to one year now and are excited to know that they now have an appointment with Rev. Samuel Macias. Rev. Macias, his wife Saby, and their three girls will move into the parsonage close to Diamond — a house that is mostly empty. The family will only be able to bring clothing and maybe one or two personal items with them.
