And Life Goes On.....

After Easter we had the first wedding of our parish, again our shed was too small to accomodate everyone inspite of shamyana and extra chairs. Here is a picture of thec shed that was decorated for the wedding. Then it was the month of May and we had ten days of Bible Study for the children . The teachers and kids came enthusiastically every morning, They were served snacks and cool drinks everyday, sponsored by parishioners. Later on each and every child was given a small gift.

Our main aim was to build the church and this kept delaying due to some reason or the other. There was a house blocking part of the entrance of the land, so we decided to buy the house. After several attempts we finally agreed on a reasonable deal (22 lakhs) and paid the advance. Again we began going for collection house to house. It took us nearly six months to collect this amount, but we managed it and bought the house on the first day of Infant Jesus festival on January 10th, 2008.
