Sunday morning in Riga

Sunday morning again. The weeks pass by so quickly.

One week ago we had a "Spiritual Day" at the School for Officers Training". Ruth and myself had two meetings with the cadets and the Training School Staff. Here you can see some of the cadets waiting for the meeting to start...

...and on Spiritual Days we have a tradition of having a nice lunch together. That is what we do here:

During the week Aldona sent some pictures from the work at the Social Center in Riga.

Here is the registration for getting food parcels...

 ...and her the food parcels are given out...

...and here is the Bible study group at the Social Center.

The past week we have spent a lot of time making preparations for our Congress in June 15-17. We plan to have a Regional Congress Choir of sixty singers. We will perform a Children´s musical. Two Brass Bands from Sweden will participate: Stockholm Temple Band and Västerås Band. The Leaders of the Salvation Army in Europe and the Swedish/Latvian leadership will take part. You are also welcome.  Riga is a great city to visit. You can find more information about the Congress here.

Yesterday (Saturday) we had a day off and we we went to the west coast visiting the city of Ventspils for the first time. It was a great spring day. The storches had returned after the winter...

...and the flowers along the road started to show up.

Now it is Sunday morning and we will soon go down to the meeting in Riga First Corps. It was a long time ago we visited a Sunday morning service at our home corps. We have been visiting the different corps in Latvia every Sunday for a long time.

Have a blessed week
