The photo gallery on the link below shows the people of St. Luke’s Congregation in Rzhev, Tver Oblast (even though only a few, for health safety) celebrating International Mothers’ Day, May 15. The attendance of the family worship service included children. The church’s young people helped with the musical accompaniment. After church, everyone gathered outdoors around a table with a samovar to have tea and snacks together, enjoying good weather and the long-awaited reconnection with fellow-Christians!
