Borscht for Dinner

Would you like to find out what borscht (beet soup) tastes like?  Then come on down to Canaan UMC on Sunday evening, November 1 at 5:30 to have a taste.  Thanks to Frances and the Kitchen Crew at Canaan, we're going to serve up some Russian style food, including borscht, and I'll be hanging around with my photo albums to talk about my trip.  Any donations of items for the orphans or money toward the cost of the trip and shipping the items will be gratefully accepted.

New Picture

I just posted a new picture - how do you like it?  It is from our visit to the Psychological Orphanage at Sergei Posad in December 2007.  My friend in the picture is Viktor.

Time out for mission in Beckley

W.Va. Volunteers in Mission offers opportunities for local mission as well as in distant lands.  I spent a wonderful day today in Beckley, W.Va. at the Burlington Children's Home helping out with the Pumpkin Harvest Festival.  This is an annual event to raise funds for the Home.  There were craft tables, all kinds of tasty treats made from pumpkins, hay rides and games for big and little kids.  James Stull and I represented Canaan UMC and provided relief for the campus workers so they could take a break from monitoring the games.  We had a blast!
