¿hablas español? Do you speak Spanish, or do you know someone who does? Valley Brook Community Church now offers worship services in both English and Spanish every Sunday at 10 a.m. and invites both Spanish speakers and English speakers to the worship service of their choice.
Pastor Clark Pfaff states, “We started the Spanish service last year when we recognized that we had several families who were bilingual, and these families had a desire to reach the Spanish speaking community in the area. As we met and listened to these families, many of them shared with us a desire to worship in their primary language, and we wanted to meet that need.” From there a Spanish service team was formed!
Pfaff and others on the church staff preach in the English service and Pfaff regularly preaches with a translator in the Spanish service. On other Sundays, members of the Spanish team use Pfaff’s notes to preach. Additionally, both singing and prayers are also in Spanish. These two services happen simultaneously in different spaces, but then the two groups come together after their respective worship services to connect over refreshments in the café.
Valley Brook Community Church is located at 160 Granville Road in North Granby. For more information about the church or the Spanish worship service, visit the church’s website at valleybrook.cc and click on the link Espanol, or send an email to español@valleybrook.cc
