Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things commonThis last month has been a very busy one to say the least. The youth have just finished studying the book of Daniel so we took a break for one Thursday and decided to take them all out for a night of Bowling. It was a lot of fun to see. Some of them had never been bowling, which was good luck for us because it had been a while for the adults also. Natalie was the big winner for night with a whopping final score of 120.
Pastor Brian came in second but was hampered by an injured thumb compliments of Nicu, while playing soccer the week before. Being the man that he is he played through the injury. All of the kids had a great time learning how to bowl and also just hanging out with one another and fellowshipping together. For all of the pictures of this fun night please visit our church website. www.calvaryromania.org/bistrita/
This month we also drove down to Bucharest for the monthly pastor's meeting. This was a special monthly meeting because we managed to bring everyone's families together also. We had a great time of worship and fellowship. Calvary Chapel Bucharest planned a nice meal for everyone and it was great to just spend sometime with all of the families that we usually don't get to see. We all managed to coordinate a group picture children included this time.
We also got to celebrate our middle daughter Sedona's birthday. We had a few family friends over and Sedona was the person that was the focus of all the attention, this is usually her preferable position, so she was one happy girl. Mom made a carrot cake which her brother at first was protesting due to the perceived vegetable content but in the end liked it. She had balloons, flowers, things in pink, everything a little girl could want. Mom and Dad even bought her a pink bike, with a Hello Kitty logo.The thing that has been keeping us the most busy this month is working on Cynthia's b-day present. Brian decided to do a low budget kitchen renovation at the ministry house. With the completion date set for March 22nd. So all of his Tuesdays are engrossed with sanding and painting and fixing the existing kitchen. The hard work is paying off though and it's almost done. Cynthia is very excited about the changes that have been made and can't wait for the final finished product. Its been a lot of fun for Brian also because this is the first time he has ever renovated a kitchen.
The last thing to mention this month is that we are adding Romanian translations to the website. This is going to be extremely helpful for Romanians that visit the site and want to know more about us. We have also added updated pictures and added a prayer tab with updated prayer requests. We are continuing to develop this website as a communication tool so things are always changing.
