Day of COFFEE in L'viv

Today, was a great day at church. Katya has lead worship and I was helping her (playing guitar, and singing a bit:-) Our pastor Dima was continuing his series of sermons about Spiritual Gifts (today we've talked about evangelism). It was a great food for thought and a reminder about the importance of sharing about Christ with others.

After the church we went downtown and realized that there is some sort of celebration going on (as it often is in L'viv). Turned out this weekend L'viv celebrated the Day of Coffee, so we have got a chance to have some free ESPRESSO sampling and have some freshly backed cake with it... :-) It was really DELICIOUS.

We might go tonight as well, since there's going to be a jazz concert there as well. Uh, seaking about jazz. There a International contemporary music festival "Contrasts" that starts in L'viv this week, and we already have got tickets for a really contemporary jazz band called UNDIVIDED. Will go to listen to them this Thursday.

Hope it is going to be a good one.

Here's Katya's first little speech on the pages of this blog:

Starting off this blog...

Why do people start blogs? It seems that it is mostly so that they can share their thoughts, ideas, impressions, dreams, afterall their LIVES with other people... usually with those they do not see very often! Otherwise, why start a blog?You might as well go for a coffee with friends or invite them over to your house for a dinner, Bible study or just a board game together (I personally love to play RISK!!:-). Whichever you prefer - fellowship in person is way better then "sitting at the computer".

However, we ALL know that in our crazy time of GLOBALIZATION it is not always possible. So this blog is a humble attempt to share about our lives, work and ministry with those close and dear people, that we do not have a chance to see personally very often...:-(

Mostly, those are you guys who live in America, or Norway, or Denmark, or Canada, or anywhere else in the world.

We love and miss you all very much. Hopefully, things here will be of interest to you (or at least informative!:-) and our desire is that this space can turn into a small "virtual room" where we can MEET REGULARLY and share our lives and thoughts.

With love,
Andriy&Katya Shekhovtsov
