Texas in (North) Russia

While gathering for Easter Sunrise Service in St. Petersburg, we met a group drinking next to the local eternal flame. They accepted some gifts from us (crosses and tracts) and sang a song for us. In return we had our picture taken with them. Barry Brown to the left looks right at home in Russia.
Captain Vic Tidman, corps officer for St. Petersburg and area coordinator for North Russia, flanks the various folk gathered for the sunrise service, which was chilly but bright. Texas train dispatcher Steve Webb brought a lively devotional.

Major April Taylor serves breakfast back at the St. Pete corps, where a host of folks enjoyed bacon, scrambled eggs, fried ham, and juice and yogurt, plus coffee with all the fixins.
