Easter Party!

This past weekend we had an Easter party at ChildRescue!

We had a puppet show AND a spectacular!  (play)

We had a good turnout and invited children from our community.  Some were familiar faces, some were new!

 

Afterwards, we had Easter bread and candy!

 

And then before the children left, they each received a Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox.  Okay, it's Easter, but it's like a two for one holiday gift!

 

I was able to read and translate the letter this boy found in his shoebox from the people who sent it.  Thank you to everyone who packs a shoebox.  These children were blessed and thrilled with them!

Easter Again

In Ukraine, we celebrate Easter according to the Orthodox calendar, so Easter will be on May 5th.  I am more than fine with that since the trees are finally turning green and it should be lovely weather wise in a couple of weeks.  I love celebrating Easter in Ukraine as it is approached in a much more serious manner that in the West.

Yesterday we had nine moms show up at our Mom's Club at ChildRescue for our Easter party!   We had a great time together.  We even gave out Operation Christmas Child boxes to a couple of moms who hadn't received them yet for their children! 

Here is a post on Orthodox Easter with a lot of great photos which show how it is celebrated if you want to learn more.  Just click .HERE

Happy Easter!
