The Evening Unit of the UCW
hosted a delicious potluck dinner in
the church basement on Thursday,
Nov. 21. Muriel showed a video.
Proceeds from the dinner will go
towards the expenses of volunteers
going to Bluefields, Nicaragua. Bill
and Muriel Coultes are part of the
second group of volunteers who
will work on the steel construction
of the roof.
The city of Bluefields is on the
Atlantic side of Nicaragua, close to
the centre of the Mexican church
area. The church was founded in
1849 by German missionaries and
later taken over by the North
American (some from Canada)
missionaries.
In 1974 the church became
independent but in 1979 the
political revolution started and
lasted 10 years. The people had
fled because their homes and
businesses were all destroyed. They
slowly returned during the years
1985-1990.
The United Church had an
affiliation with the Moravian
Church and in 1990 appealed for
assistance. London Conference
responded and sent a team down to
assess what was required. They
decided the most urgent need was a
school, so more volunteers went
down and worked in partnership
with the people to build the walls,
ceiling and second floor.
It was intended the local people
would put on the roof but that
never happened.. There were too
many other buildings to rebuild.
In 1995 an appeal was launched
to raise cash or materials. Four
groups of 11 will go to Bluefields
in January-February to construct
the roof. A roof has been designed
that will withstand 200 mph winds
and be earthquake proof.
