The city of Ivano-Frankivsk is named after the Ukrainian author Ivan Franko. His statue is in front of the hotel that I am staying in in the Old Town area of the city.
The VBS team in the Ivano-Frankivsk congregation (left to right) Peter Heyn, Sharon Anthony, Steve Ludwig and Pastor Serhiy Romanyuk. Today 48 children attended the three classes that are divided into primay (23), middle (9) and upper (16). They meet in three rooms of a business center near the center of the city.
The primary group made Joseph's Coat of Many Colors and were singing songs in both Ukraian and English.
The middle and upper groups craft project was to make a cross from clothes pins.
This placque was on a side street near the hotel. It recognizes Theodor Zoeckler as a German evangelist who was instrumental in helping to start the Lutheran church in Western Ukraine.Tomorrow, Wednesday I'll be off to Lazarivka about 40 kilometers north of Ivano-Frankivsk. After VBS I will then travel on to Ternopil to visit VBS in both Ternopil and Kremenets.
