Sunday Service in Kaunas

The service at Kaunas this morning was GREAT. Had 14 on a cold snowy morning. Singing Christmas Carols, testimonies, sermonette about "Witness from the Spirit" - Getting a RHEMA from the Holy Spirit. Great fellowship with believers and witness to those who need Christ. Lara had a great witness opportunity this morning with Dovile at the hotel. The church in Kaunas is growing; Praise the LORD.

Day of REST - Prepare for SUNDAY

Today we went to a "craft festival" in Alytus about 40 miles away. Some very nice craft items made at a craft school - wood carvings, cloth items, ceramics, wicker, baskets, etc. Watched some soccer games at the school where Marius is a coach. We have had some great Lithuania foods. Praying for an effective service tomorrow. Several folks have been attending this week who need to yield to the Lord's leading.

Bible Study

Tonight was Bible Study nite. Alan led our study concerning "who are we in Christ"? A new creature - Many scriptures and discussions concerning how we grow as Christians.

The new computer from SBC for the Kaunas Church was very much appreciated. It helps with singing new praise hymns "off the wall".

It SNOWED today - over an inch - 36F. Stephanie was very happy to see snow.

American Christmas

We attempted to show some unique thing we do in America for Christmas. Egg nog was a great hit. Shrimp with "home made cocktail sauce" was a new treat. Had a "White Elephant Exchange with some unique gifts and lots of EXCHANGING. A teddy bear was actually a package of GUMMY bears - Tomas, you are so funny. The "English Team" sang a "unique version" of the Twelve Days of Christmas. We read the Christmas story from Luke 2. Oh and an update on vegetables; Alan is eating more apples. A T shirt presented to Alan reads "Eat more Vegatables" and shows a picture of an apple. Ask Alan why.

American Movie Night in Lithuania

Tonight was super awesome! We had three new locals join us tonight for movie night! We watched "Book of Eli" which allowed for a discussion about the Bible afterwards. Another great night of fellowship with everyone. It is very exciting to see how God is working in the church and in these young peoples lives.

On a side note, Alan is working on the difference between fruits and vegetables, will keep you updated!

Game Nite

Game nite at the church. Eleven attended and had great Christian fellowship. Jenga - Take the blocks out till they "all fall down". Also played "Alias" - "guess the word" - some funny times with the two languages.
