Early Sunday morning in Riga, April 29

Sunday again! This is the last Sunday for this month and it seems that spring is here to stay. It feels almost like summer in Riga.

Preparations for the Congress in Riga takes a lot of time and energy these days. We expect a number of international participants for the Congress. Have you ever spent a summer weekend in Riga? It is absolutely worth a visit. Here is our ad in the "Salvationist". Most of the Congress will be bilingual, Latvian and English.

During the Congress we will have a National Latvian Congress Choir for the first time. We expect a choir with more than sixty singers from all different corps and outposts in Latvia. Last Sunday we had singing practice with the groups from Riga first corps after the Sunday meeting and during the week Ruth and Sarah have been to Bauska to practice with the singers there. Here are a couple of pictures from the practice at Riga 1 last Sunday.

During the week I also received pictures from the Bible Olympics, which took place a couple of weeks ago. It is a great event with children from all over Latvia participating. Here are a couple of pictures...

...and many more pictures from the event can be found here.

Now it is early Sunday morning and in a few hours it is time to go down to the service at Riga first corps. And after the service there will be another rehearsal for the singers in Riga.

Have a blessed week!
