FOCUS:
St. Paul's Church
|
St. Paul's was founded in 2005 by Roger and Diane McMurrin with a group of musicians who wanted to worship together and have an evangelical focus among the poor, in particular, the widows, pensioners, and orphans.
The McMurrins had already founded a church in the same manner in 1994, with 90 musicians and many people thronged to its worship service, drawn by the preaching of God's Word, sacred classical music provided by members of the Kiev Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and humanitarian assistance for the poor. Over a period of years, Church of the Holy Trinity became affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of Ukraine, and ordained its own Ukrainian pastor, and elders. Thus, the church became independent of missionary involvement. The church continues today as an active congregation with a contemporary music style.

WIDOWS
CHRISTMAS BANQUETS
Beginning November 28, widows Christmas banquets were held at the MMK office in Kiev. The widows and pensioners were entertained in groups of 40. A dinner prepared by Val our chef, was served: chicken breast with peach sauce, buttered potatoes with dill, carrot medallions, green salad, and bread. Fancy chocolate cake concluded the dinner with a glass of fruit juice.
The program began with a welcome from Diane McMurrin, followed by the reading of the Christmas Story from Luke, by one of our pensioners. Vika Konchakovskaya led the hymn Silent Night, while the missionaries lit the Christmas candles on the tables. Roger McMurrin offered a prayer. Wes and Kim served plates of food, and then gave greetings to all. C.J. Janzen took pictures. Natasha Shevchenko acted as translator, and organized the gift giving.
