First of all, sincere apologies for the long silence. Moving to Skopje has proved to be a time consuming adventure. Now, after eight months Skopje is starting to feel like home, and there are even green shoots showing of an emerging Anglican community in our new home city!
Of course, things have been happening also in Bucharest while we have been finding our feet in Skopje. Not least, has been the decision of Martin and Alex to return to England after almost three years of devoted service to the Church of the Resurrection in Bucharest. Last Sunday, Palm Sunday, was their last service in Sofia, and these photographs show what a wonderful send off the congregation there gave him.
Jonathan Dunne who sent the photos, gives the following description of them:
1- Martin's last service in the Catholic Chapel of the Annunciation
2 - Martin in good voice! (the hymn was "My song is love unknown")
3 - Gino presenting Martin with some farewell gifts (an icon of Christ and a smart fountain pen!) in the presence of Walter and Steve
4 - Elodie, Lauren, Els, Lisa and Mira look on
Martin still has two more weeks left in Romania, with his final service being on 26th April.
With God's help, the blog will now resume its meanderings around Central Europe and in particular the Balkans. So, watch this space and who knows what you might see!
