Woodbridge Church to Host Bolivian Dinner, Discussion Featuring Five Talents Program

St. Margaret’s Anglican Church in Woodbridge will host a Bolivian dinner and discussion at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11. The evening will feature guest speaker Rev. Walter Barrientos of Tarija, Bolivia. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.

Father Barrientos is a member of the oversight committee for Semillas de Bendición, the Five Talents microenterprise development project that was launched in Tarija, Bolivia, in 2008.

Barrientos is an Anglican priest who started a mission church, La Santa Cruz (Holy Cross), in Tarija. This church has grown more than any other in the diocese and now has 150 members – half of those are children. The Barrientos are currently hoping to construct a building that can serve initially as a church and later take on the additional function of a school.

RSVP by calling (703) 494-7621. Space is limited. The church is located at 13900 Church Hill Road, Woodbridge, Va.
