Vicka arrived at the church an hour early to decorate and it looked really nice!
Each of the ladies made an entree and a dessert to pass around, so the food was wonderful!
The ladies started with dinner...
Then they did a lesson Matthew 22:1-14 about the wedding feast. Since Vicka had three unbelievers present, she also made a gospel presentation and invited them to receive Jesus! Pray that the seeds that were planted will grow!
Vicka followed the lesson up with a craft. The craft focused on the verse from II Co 2:15-16 which says that, "We are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life." 
Their craft was creating something fragrant (making saches). Vicka's friend in Alaska, Renee Estel, put together the crafts and sent them to Vicka to enjoy with the ladies.
Then they did another craft with dry plants that were fragrant. The ladies put the plants in a clear mesh and decorated the mesh with ribbons and fake flowers.
After the craft, the ladies enjoyed tea with cakes and sang praise songs.
One sister from the church brought her mother-in-law who had been abused by her daughter. If you look closely you can see the bruise on her eye (the elderly looking Chukchi lady). Now the lady is living with her son's family (the son is not a believer, but the wife is!). While this mother-in-law came to the party looking very sad, she left very happy and then joined us for the Sunday morning service, too!
All the ladies enjoyed the evening very much and thanked Vicka a thousand times over for the lesson and crafts. We praise the Lord for this wonderful opportunity to spread the Gospel and ask that you join us in praying that the three unbelieving women would come to know Jesus!
