You will not want to miss this! International Peacemaker Luis Fernando Sanmiguel will be coming to Faith Presbyterian Church on Sunday, October 2nd (World Communion Day) for the morning service and a workshop later in the day. More details on times will be given in the September edition of The SPIRE and in our bulletin.

He has engaged in peace work for 26 years, taking part in a variety of social justice and human rights activities and movements and accompanying some of the most vulnerable rural communities. Rev. Sanmiguel has participated in peace talks between the Columbian government and guerrilla groups, among them the Revolutionary Armed forces of Columbia and the National Liberation Army. He is part of the Commission for Social Oversight appointed by the Dialogue in Havana, Cuba. He has served as a pastoral accompanier to political prisoners in Villavicencio and Medellin Antioquia.
