Today our Sunday School classes visited several elderly people in our neighborhood to sing carols and give them a bag of candy. The kids had a great time and the babushka's were grateful for the attention from the children.

Work is continuing at Sasha's Home. With each passing week it looks more like the welcoming environment that we envision for the precious children abandoned in Ukraine. The balconies are being tiled, the breezeway is almost entirely sheet rocked, the ceilings are having the crown moulding installed and then painted, and the bathrooms are being completed. It is truly amazing how this building is being transformed into a wonderful apartment community for the children. Please continue to pray for the project and our workers. Also remember that all donations are welcomed - and matched!

Tee Shirt Party with Kids
Today we had a party with our church children. We all decorated tee shirts to wear next week when we deliver presents to elderly people in our neighborhood. The kids made "dear shirts" using a tracing of their foot for the face and their hands for the antlers. They were also given bells for the nose. Enjoy the pictures.

New Classes and Visitors
We recently started two new classes with our church family in Gorlovka. The first is an adult class that meets on Wednesday night. The attendance has been good with around fifteen people coming each week. Lora served chili last week and everyone enjoyed both the meal and the time of study, prayer and fellowship. The second class is for children from around ten to fourteen years old. (4th through 8th grade). Sunday afternoon we had 16 kids attend the class. Some of them are also attending the worship assembly on Sunday.
Mark and Courtney are visiting in Gorlovka while they are adopting children from a nearby city. More about their story soon.

Final room at Baby Hospital
We finished the final room at the Baby Hospital this week. What a great group of workers volunteered from the church family to help with this project. Special thanks to Tanya, Olga, Lena, Luda, Lena, Tanya, Lora, Vica, and Victoria for all their hard work. The rooms are so warm and inviting that the nurses have commented that they would like to live in them! It is important to provide a wonderful place for our precious children to live so they know that they are greatly loved by Jesus and his people. Thanks for your help with supporting the Abandoned Babies and Children Program. Your sacrifices are touching many lives in Ukraine.
