Pepe is coming

Our church, Nuevo Amanecer, is planning for a big outreach event in April. Pepe, who sings Mariachi style, will be coming in from Florida. I love his outfit. I have to get me one of these.
In addition to the music, Pepe will share a message, and we will have a ton of food and games […]

Final Logo For New Dawn
