Cristo Obrero, formerly Southwest Metro Latino Ministry Exploration, is a mission development of the Minneapolis Area Synod in the Southwest Conference. Cristo Obrero is accompanying Latino families in Chaska and Shakopee. Pastor Jorge Espinoza is the mission developer.
Cristo Obrero is having a Pig Roast & Picnic on Sunday, May 25 at 4 pm at Cross of Peace Lutheran in Shakopee. A brief campfire worship will be held following the meal. The event is a farewell to Pastor Jorge as he begins his sabbatical. Partner Congregations have been invited to join! If you would like to bring food to share, please sign up.
Activities like summer soccer, Take-Out VBS, a school supply drive, and others, are helping Pastor Jorge build relationships in the community as he begins to develop a community of faith.
Immanuel is supporting Cristo Obrero financially as a mission development congregation and we are responding to requests for assistance as we are able.
Please watch the embedded video of Pastor Jorge and Stephanie when they shared the message at Immanuel (July 2020).
