Welcome to our worship service!

I want to welcome you to The Village of Eden church.  Let me show you around.

 This is Galya, she runs the Audio/Visual department.  Everything goes great until our generator runs out of fuel. . . 

Isaac and Arafat lead the worship service. Isaac speaks in English and Arafat in Samia.  Sometimes, they switch up in the middle of the sentence!  They are both growing into great men of God.

The children are eager to learn God's word.

These boys are excited to borrow Robin's Bible to hear the Bible passage Isaac is sharing.

Boo struggles to stay focused.  Today he is more interested in this flower, 

Our praise band is doing a great job with worship today.

Beatrace is the song leader.

This is our VOE Children's choir. The practice each Saturday for their performance on Sundays.

The drummers keep the songs moving fast.

Robin is in charge of teaching a Bible verse.  Looks like she has a game planned today.

Anya is racing Stefan to unscramble the Bible verse.


Stefan won by 10 seconds!

Let's all say it together:  "Trust in the Lord completely and do not depend on your own knowledge.  Proverbs 5:3"

The youth are really desiring the Word.

This is our VOE youth choir.

We sent the adults out.  The children remain for the Bible story.

We are studying Esther.  I am acting out the part where Mordicai is fasting and praying for the deliverance of the Jews.

Arafat does a great job translating.

The children really listen to the story.  I wish I could say it was my teaching, but I believe it is God working in their hearts and minds.

After the story, we divide into small groups to review the story and ask questions.

This is the adult class.  We have a guest speaker from the Netherlands today.

Our residents are the small group teachers. They are doing a great job with the kids.

Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Please come again, maybe in person next time. . .
