Grace Church Picnic at Black Sea Camp

It is a wonderment having a church camp on the Black Sea with 80 to 100 yards of beach! On May 11, a national holiday in Ukraine, 300+ members of Grace Church went to the bazza and had a day of fellowship and fun. Three buses the size of the old Greyhounds were used as well as the four church vans and private cars.

Below are a few pictures from that day. In the morning there was singing and sharing. People divided into 8 groups with assigned versus from a passage of scripture. They discussed what faith, hope and love meant in their lives, came back to the whole group and shared (5 minutes) what they had discovered. Around 5pm everyone packed up and went home.

Peeling potatoes for 300 people.
