Game Night

Sunday, January 17, we hosted a game night for our college age group and a group from another local church in Gorlovka. (They had previously invited our group to an event at their place). We had about 35 teens and young adults present for singing, playing interactive games, sharing a meal, and playing Wii, ping pong, air hockey, etc. It was great for both of our groups to realize that there are other Christian teens in the city who are seeking to live as disciples of Jesus. Enjoy the pictures.

Church Christmas Party

Ukraine follows the Eastern Orthodox calendar so Christmas is January 7, not December 25. We had a great Christmas party on Christmas Eve for the church family. There were over 50 folks present and we shared a great meal, had a talent show and exchanged gifts by playing Dirty Santa. No one wanted to go home and the party didn't end until about 10:30. Enjoy the pictures.

College New Year's Party

Recently we had a New Year's party for our college age (and a couple of late high school age) students. We decided to have a "Crazy Hat Party" and go bowling. Like everywhere, kids here do not like to be embarrassed - so we thought it would be a great idea to make their crazy hat the ticket to go bowling! It was a great time which ended with supper at our house followed by a rousing game of Dirty Santa (and then lots of Mario Cart Racing!).
