Church Life

A variety of visitors have been coming to worship recently. One member who teaches English has brought a couple of her students. The Nazarovs have brought their neighbor and her granddaughter. Ira, who attended our first home group, has been attending regularly. These new faces are quite an encouragement to the rest of us. Costya has added something new for the children. At the start of worship, he played two children's action songs. The songs have the children clap, make a circle, and several other fun motions that some of the adults enjoyed doing along with the kids. Then we heard a short story told specifically for children. We intend to make this a regular part of the Sunday service.

Our church is growing!

Our pastor, Costya Nazarov, and his wife, Ira, welcomed a new member of their family on February 25. Simeon is a whopping 9 pounds, 22" long, and was born at home. This is their third child after Elisha and Anecia.

We were invited for dinner after church on March 8th and had a very enjoyable time visiting, playing with the kids, and snuzzling the baby.

Congratulations, Costya and Ira!
