The week in pictures

This week has been kind of a blur, in some ways. The group from Auburn did a wonderful job in the schools this week. We worked in 3 different schools and held 3 nighttime English clubs. Tuesday night, the theme was Hollywood. Several students dressed up (two of them as Batman!), we played Hollywood trivia, watched and discussed movie clips, and the group performed the dance from High School Musical (the original). It was great, and the students loved it. Andrei, one of the pastors here, talked with the students about priorities and fame.

Wednesday night, the theme was Country music (a novelty around here). The group taught the students "Sweet Home Alabama," gave out bandanas (which many of the students wore to school the next day), and taught the Electric Slide. Radik, another pastor, talked about how each of us is special to God.

Thursday, the theme was Coffeehouse. We invited students to the church, and we just spent time sitting at tables, drinking tea/ coffee, and talking. We did the Electric Slide and the Cupid Shuffle for fun, and Vova spoke to the students. It was a great time of hearing the students and sharing our thoughts about faith and life.

Here are some pictures (including some sights from Kiev) for your enjoyment/amusement/enlightenment:
