United Methodist Church in Russia

Because it had a presence in Russia in the days before the Russian Revolution, the Unted Methodist Church is allowed to have active churches in modern Russia.  I have celebrated Orthodox Christmas twice with the congregation of the First United Methodist Church of Moscow, and I look forward to worshipping at the Tomsk United Methodist Church this year.

A mission group from the Marvin United Methodist Church in Texas has traveled to Tomsk in recent years and have posted a wonderful web site describing their visit with the orphans.  I love looking at their photo gallery to get a taste of what I will experience on my visit to Tomsk.
