**ZUZU’S FINAL MISSION NEWSLETTER**
When I said “yes” to coming to Mexico, I never could’ve imagined all the incredible things God would do! Over the past few months, I’ve witnessed His hand in powerful ways, and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. It’s bittersweet to share that my time in Mexico has officially come to an end—but what a journey it’s been! During our final month of outreach, we spent time in two regions in southern Mexico: Huatulco and Merida, along with their surrounding indigenous communities. Keep reading to hear about what God did in these places!

• Jeffrey Rosario will unpack the symbols of the tabernacle and show what they mean for your everyday life.

If you’re a high schooler looking for a small student led Bible-study group, we invite you to join us as we dive into Gods Word every Sabbath. Through deep discussions, engaging questions, and Scripture readings, we aim to not only make connections with one another, but to learn about the Bible and apply its teaching in our lives!

**SUMMER 2025 FRIDAY VESPERS - THE TABERNACLE: A BLUEPRINT FOR KNOWING GOD**
Looking for a place to grow in your faith, build meaningful friendships, and enjoy good food and conversation? Join us this summer for a brand new season of this intergenerational Bible study!

We’ll gather every 2nd and 4th Friday evening at 7PM during the Summer months for food, fun, fellowship, and spiritual discovery as we take a deeper look at the Tabernacle — God’s original blueprint for meeting with His people. Together, we’ll uncover its powerful symbolism, timeless lessons, and how it can become a beautiful tool for deepening our relationship with our Creator today.

No matter your age or stage of life, or spiritual journey, you’re welcome here! Whether you’re new to Bible study or a seasoned reader, this is a great opportunity to connect with others, ask questions, and experience God’s presence in a fresh way.
