My summer travels continued with a trip to the Isthmus and a visit to the Ixtepec Covenant Church that was celebrating their twenty seventh anniversary.
They had originally thought it was the 25th anniversary and therefore had planned a big celebration. However further research showed that it was really their 27th anniversary.
Everyone was decked out in their finest.
A closer view of what the older ladies of the church wore to the worship service. Each top is hand embroidered.
When the service became too long for one of the youngest members of the church, she decided to take a nap between the pews.
The lunch that followed the service. Outside in the 95 plus degree heat but at least there was shade.
Many of the younger women wore traditional Isthmus huipiles.
One of the youngest.
Never too young to begin dressing like a like a typical woman from the isthmus.
The pastor and two of the founding members of the Ixtepec Covenant Church. I wonder if they knew the lives that would be touched for Christ in those first years of the church.
