We started our Christmas celebrations in December with a party for our children who come to our Children's Club on Saturday. We played games, shared the Christmas story and presented the children with gifts.

We celebrated our first Christmas in Petrovka on January 7. We shared the true meaning of Christmas with the families that attended and displayed my ceramic Nativity scene that my parents made for me. The children sang Christmas carols and recited poetry about the birth of Jesus. We had great fellowship over a Christmas lunch with the new families that came to celebrate with us.

January 8-9 our team and a youth group from another church visited the homes in our town and we sang Christmas carols and presented calendars to the adults and candies to the children. God touched the hearts of some of our neighbors with the Ukrainian Christmas carols. We had lots of snow and freezing temperatures on those two days but were determined to reach all the homes in our town with the good news that Jesus, our Savior, was born.

We also had the opportunity to have a Christmas program at the public school and present the children with gifts from Samaritan's Purse. For all of you who participate in this wonderful ministry, we thank you and the children of Petrovka thank you!
