Saturday Ministry in Perechin with the Youth & Children

We were so encouraged during our regular, Saturday ministry yesterday at Perechin. Though it is still very cold, the children braved the cold and came anyway. We were delighted to have 12 altogether. We still missed 4-6 of our children that we would consider those who attend regularly.
Cheryl planned to do a cooking lesson with the girls, but at this time it is somewhat awkward. Vita, who we miss very much during our services, is still very necessarily attending the baby and recovering from the delivery. Though we realize her time away is so important at this wonderful time, we sure do miss her being there and helping--especially when Cheryl is trying to instruct the girls about cooking and translation is almost absent. But she had a good time with the girls (and some boys as you can see in the photos) and it was an exciting and profitable time. The entire service in addition to the cooking was a joy. Stephen had presented his continuing Bible story, singing, game, and lesson. We were very encouraged with the Saturday ministry.
