Cesis Baptist Church was filled with music Sunday as the choral chime choir made their first performance. The Latvian group has been practicing this week under the instruction of Steve Akin. The First Baptist Church-Athens hand bell choir made the donation of the choir chimes to their sister church in Cesis.
Latvians are known for their music and they have proved to be fast learners on the new instruments. They played several songs as well as Leanna and Steve performing their favorites.
The Latvians were very gracious hosts and we all celebrated the week with a strawberry and cream social afterwards. What could be better than fresh (very fresh!) strawberries, cream and waffles?
The day was finished off at a location in the country. All of Latvian and US kids had a place to run and play, fires were burning to roast sausages over and we topped the evening with some honey straight out of the hive.
What a great Sunday! God has richly blessed all of us this week. Paldies jums!
