The service on Saturday was a blessing. Since our church celebrated Maundy Thursday (Страстный Четверг), the youth did not have a gathering for themselves. I felt called to do this a couple of weeks ago, partially because I only then realized that Easter was coming on us quickly, but also because I'd like to continue a new tradition that we've started a only a few years ago. Besides, it's a great way to see those who do not typically attend our church, see old friends and companions, praise Jesus for His faithfulness to living a life like ours, putting himself down, taking on sin to death and rising from that death to prove He's more powerful than the evil/injustice that exists on earth, and worship God together in that knowledge and in our community.
We had a guest speaker, Brian Schultz, a Biblical Studies professor from Fresno Pacific University, who lived in Israel 12 years before coming to teach/work here in the States starting 6 months ago. He spoke of the ressurection "via the backdoor", reading from Jeremiah, Habbakuk, and John. Hope you all enjoy listening. If you have any suggestions for this ministry or any ideas, leave a comment.

Hey Vasya, thanks for the comment.
I have not heard of Maundy Thursday, but it sounds interesting.
Haven't seen you online lately. Hope you are well.
