2015 New Year Celebration
Two days before the New Year Odessa had one of the worst snow falls in years. The roads were piled with snow and we were concerned we wouldn't be able to get to our church. We had lots of people praying that the roads would be cleared. Praise God that on December 31 in the morning they cleared the roads. There was only one lane available but our team was able to meet the New Year with all the new believers in our church in Petrovka. Most of the families who attended said it was their first time to bring in the New Year without alcohol. We had over 50 people attend and a few of the husbands of the ladies in our young mom's group. We had a really nice dinner together, played games, sang songs and prayed together as a church family. Since the Ukrainian "Santa Claus" referred to as "Grandfather Frost" brings gifts on the New Year, we had special gifts for the children.
