CC Prague's First Sunday Service!

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1

...and it was sweet as our small group gathered together for our first Sunday morning service!

In some ways it was no different than what Jason and Tomaš have faithfully been doing for almost a year now...teach-ing the Word verse by verse with translation into Czech. The only difference was the location! Instead of in Jason's apt., now we have this great building!

But what is a church, really? Not the building, but the people, of course, and we were blessed with help from some wonderful people from Roudnice this first Sunday.

Franta and Alysia came and shared their talent in music and worship.

Alysia's husband Zdenek and their two daughters joined us, too.

After service it was a good time for folks to hang out with some coffee and snacks and just get to know each other better.

And so although the church is the people, we are blessed to have this great building that has not just a place for the serivce to meet, but also room enough for people to hang around afterwards and fellowship. We are blessed!

We have a lot of room to grow in this location and we pray, and believe that God will fill it in His timing and His way! Thank you so much for your prayers! Please continue to pray for us here in Prague

Step by Step...the new church building starts to take shape

Remember the main hall of our new church building? (If not, click here and check out all the "before" photos!)
The new lights were put in and what a difference it makes! Danny and Annaliese Foote visiting from CC Kagarlyk, Ukraine get the tour during the installation of the lights.

Along with the new lights the Lord also provided chairs for the hall. That might seem like overspirit-ualizing to say "the Lord provided" but along with believing that "every good gift comes from above", when you hear that Jason just "stumbled upon" these chairs on close-out sale for just barely over $1 each...don't you agree that God really blessed us?!?


The chairs came in handy when we celebrated Cara's birthday at the church recently

Everyone on the team has been working at getting the building ready for services, but none more than Jason. Who knew they taught carpet laying at Bible School?

Petr also pitched in and helped assemble some of the furniture needed.

At the end of the day, they were tired, but this room was transformed and almost ready for Tomaš to move in! (Watch for that story in our next posting!)
