Super Spanish: Week 4
Bienvenidos to the fourth week of the Super Spanish video series! To participate in our Diocesan-wide video and to have a chance to win a free Super Spanish t-shirt, upload your video of you saying this week's phrase here. You can participate every week for more chances to win and to support the work of Spanish Language Ministries here in East Carolina!

We invite you to share with your friends, parish family, and anyone you think would love to learn some Spanish to join in the fun! You can share the Super Spanish webpage, which has information about the series, the videos, and upload information for participants.
We are celebrating with EFWM (Episcopal Farmworker Ministry), as they have a new Interim Executive Director! Mike Hensen has joined the staff of the Ministry as Interim Executive Director as of April 1, 2022. Most recently, Mike was Managing Director of the Duke University Global Value Chains Center in Durham, NC. Prior to that, Mike had a career that spanned international business, primarily in Latin America, and several years as a Spanish teacher and advocate in the Hispanic communities of southern Wisconsin. Mike will oversee the operations of the EFWM, provide needed support to its hardworking staff, and help promote the work of the Ministry within the communities that have helped it achieve its past successes. We pray blessings on Mike's time with EFWM, and our prayers continue to be with EFWM for their search process for the future Executive Director. Welcome, Mike!
