First UMC of Moscow 1

We had a marvelous time worshiping and celebrating with the members of the First United Methodist Church of Moscow on New Years Eve 2007. We all fell in love with the little girl in pink!

Fun at Moscow Orphanages

This was during the 2008-2009 trip, I think.

Moscow Hotel

Most years that I have gone on this trip our group stayed at the Hotel Ismailovo Delta. They put up marvelous light displays for the holidays. This is a small sample. The first building you see is what we called the "Log House Restaurant".

Christmas Carols

There are only ten of us going on the trip this year and that doesn't include my friend Chris who has done the puppet shows in the past. Rev. Clark said that we will be doing a program for our hosts and I volunteered to help lead some Christmas carols. What do you think would be the easiest for non-singers to do a decent job with and would be known as American classics?

The Children of Sergei Posad

This is a video I took of the children at the Orphanage for the Blind and Deaf at Sergei Posad near Moscow the first year I traveled with Volunteers in Mission.
