Our church now is in the midst of preparations to 11-19 October outreach with a team from High Desert Church, CA. Pray that everything would go off in the best way and the main purpose of that all would be carried out when people get saved hearing about Christ.
Because of upcoming outreach every Sunday from the beginning of September after service we have seminars on evangelism the purpose of which is to make people prepared to share the Good News. Seminars are taught by Ilya Tolstov.
Praise God! The Lord answered our prayers concerning more convenient facility for the church. In August a new administrator was appointed for the cinema where we had been renting a hall for Sunday services. His willing is to remodel the old cinema for a cultural center. And by unknown reason new administrator is open to us. After negotiations and discussions about our further cooperation now we can have the hall on Sundays for a whole day, for Wednesday services in the evening, once a week in the evening for the church rock band rehearsing. Moreover in the future as cinema is remodeled Sunday school will be able to have suitable rooms for children. Now vast perspectives lie before us, existed church ministries can grow and new ones can appear. We're glad. Thanks for everyone who has been praying about church facility with us.
Take notice! From the 1st of September Wednesday services are held in "Iskra" cinema-theater at 6 p.m. and Sunday services now begin at 11 a.m. Look details in the section "Meetings Schedule".
In the beginning of August our pastor Vlad Oplev and his assistant Dima Krupennikov got back from their vacations and join the ministry. Our church starts to prepare for a big October outreach with a team from High Desert Church, CA, USA. Pray that God would lead us in everything and the outreach would bear a big fruit.
Continue to pray for a more convenient facility for our church and for a place to live for several church ministers - pastor Vlad Oplev and his family, assistant pastor Dima Krupennikov and his family and deacon Ilya Tolstov.
Another section for you on our web-site - "Church Resources". For now it's available to listen to audio sermons in mp3 format and to download worship songbooks. However in the future we're planing to place for massed use resources for children ministry, church library catalog and church sermons catalog. Be connected!
More and more people are going on vacations and holidays. Because of this central meeting is stopped till the beginning of August.
But despite the lull in the church life more articles with photos about two last church events are added on our web-site - about Calvary Chapel Churches Moscow Rally and baptism retreat. And also in the article about Christmas celebration you can listen to the audio track of Christmas drama - though it's in Russian. Get acquainted!
Continue to pray for a more convenient facility for our church and for a place to live for several church ministers - pastor Vlad Oplev and his family, assistant pastor Dima Krupennikov and his family and deacon Ilya Tolstov. By different reasons they have to find themselves a new "refuge".
Main news - our web-site has been remodeled, updated and reanimated after a long period! We hope that our Internet ministry will be a blessing for those of you (and not only) whose heart is with us - Calvary Chapel Church of Nizhny Novgorod. Don't be upset if having clicked some link you see a message "Under Construction". In due course all the gaps of this site will be filled up.
So how are we doing? The summer is its height, - vacation season. There are not many people in church now. Our pastor Vlad Oplev and his assistant Dima Krupennikov are on vacations as well until the end of July. They were substituted by Oleg Merkuriev and Ilya Tolstov. Oleg teaches on Wednesday services and Ilya - on Sunday services. Sergey Polyanskih took Dima's place in worship team. We hope that guys are having good time of rest now and will accumulate enough energy for another year.
This month we start the search for a new more convenient facility for the church. Pray with us that God would lead us to the place He wants us to see in. For the present time the absence of a good and suitable facility hinders some church ministers.
