On Sunday April 16, Campoverde Church in the Community was greatly honoured when the Bishop of the Episcopal Church of Spain, Bishop Carlos Lopez Lozano visited us to thank us for our work in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ in our church and in our community.

 

The Episcopal Church of Spain is part of the Anglican Communion; Campoverde Church in the Community joined in 2020 as we felt it was more appropriate for us to be part of the Church of Spain, whilst remaining within the Anglican Communion.

 

Bishop Carlos led the service which included the participation of members of our congregation. We were joined by representatives of a number of other churches, including two local Evangelical Churches and our sister churches in la Manga and San Fulgencio. It was a truly joyful and ecumenical service.

 

A highlight was the awarding of Assistant Lay Reader Licences to our four regular worship leaders, Peter Barlow, Pip Shail, James McAllister and Maggie Dew, shown in the photograph below. Thanks be to God.
