Easter info Rus

Easter info (Rus)
Вот фотки с пасхи и крещения!!

Люди чаще идут в церковь на пасху, и то , лишь для того чтоб совершить ритуал и опять к нормальной жизни!  
Хороший повод всё ж, пригласить на служение!
Мы раздали много приглашений и решили устроить особенное празднование пасхи с обедом, мням мням!
А также, Господь ему показал что мы устроим крещение! Не просто всё было организовать но Господь верен!!! Он помог нам всё устроить.

Мы смогли арендовать зал побольше  и нашли место для проведения крещения.

Я так надеюсь, что в каждую пасху у людей появиться еще одна возможность приоткрыть занавес на истинность слов «во истину воскрес»

Easter and Baptism on April 23

Easter and Baptism!!! April 23

Of all the days in a year, Easter would probably be THE day when people in Russia are most likely to go to church!!!! So we wanted to make nice invitations and invite people to church for a special Easter church service all are welcome! Our friends or those who ever visited the church service, any people we know or ever met in Alexandrov, and of course we wanted to make a nice open event so any body would feel free to come and bring a friend. We passed out as many invitations as we could.
So, Lee and I were on the phone this one day as we were praying and thinking about what would we want for the Easter service this year … and he is like… -Well, we defiantly are renting a big hall here at “Yubilany d/k” and we’re gonna have special program and a dinner. … (wow) .. And , I prayed about it [he said] and I think the Lord is showing me that we are to have a baptism for those who want to get baptized!!!
And I am like…. – wow, that’s awesome, we gonna have to find a place where to do the baptism… there is no swimming pool in Alexandrov and the water in lakes ,well it’s like just above ice temperature :) …
However, God always has a good plan! 1st- we were able to rent a bigger hall and 2nd- we were able to find a small but nice size pool in one of the sauna places, actually a very nice place :)
Two girls from our fellowship that have been with the Lord for over a year have expressed their desire to get baptized!!!

Oh, what a wonderful Easter day that was! Ha-ha I loved the food part! We had so much fun celebrating the resurrection of our Lord ! The true meaning of Christian belief!! What a day to get baptized too!!!





I just pray that people brake true traditions that blind them, here in Russia, it is so strong in the mind. Not that all traditions are bad, there are some nice once, but unfortunately, it doesn’t go further then those traditions and the true meaning of Easter and the fraise “Christos voskres- vo Istinoo Voskress” stays veiled. Posted by Picasa
