More pictures from Helsinki

Here's some more pictures from the big youth weekend. The Estonian young people did the "Chair" drama for the auxiliary group on Saturday and during the worship meeting on Sunday.

Anneli, Eero, Kirill and Elizabeth do their parts in the drama.

The Estonian praise band also played on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

Here is the band in action, with singers Rebeka, Anneli, Elizabeth and Sonia, Eero on guitar, Tim on bass and Evelin on piano.

On Saturday, the stage was set up for the Finnish rock band Park7, so the praise band got to enjoy some cool lighting as they sang.

After the devotional on Saturday evening, the band was asked to play again to encourage everyone focus on Jesus.

At the end of the Sunday meeting, the young people came onstage to wave red, yellow and blue flags. The Estonians like Anneli, Eero and Kirill outshined the Finns (if we can be so humble!).

Natasha found a new young friend (of course!) as she waved her flag!

Helsinki Youth Weekend

Our corps young people spent the weekend in Helsinki for a territorial youth event. There were nine of us from Narva, and we travelled on the ferry with the six from Tallinn. During the trip, Anneli sang karaoke, which the aging fins seemed to really enjoy!

The first program of the weekend was a fun night of games, led by Michael. Here Sonia and Keit try to untangle themselves from a human knot.

Elizabeth and Kirill do their best to untangle their group.

Anneli, Eero and Elizabeth working together.

Keit, Jakov and Sonia work to untangle their group.

Then it was time for a game of Wizards, Giants and Elves.

The game was loud, but really fun!

And Michael was the master of ceremonies.

Logan was content to sit the games out!

Evelin, Elizabeth, Ksenja, Ilja and Natasha listen to the devotional.

Eero and Kirill listen as Metti shares. Check back tomorrow for lots more pictures from the weekend.

Youth Group Outing

Two weeks ago, our youth group spent the afternoon in Narva-Jõesuu, on the Gulf of Finland.

It was windy and the waves were really coming in!

We had the chance to appreciate some fine art (I think that's what it's supposed to be).

And Peter got into the act too.

Then we headed to a park for snacks.

There was a pond with a nice gazebo.

Anneli and Elizabeth enjoyed the teeter-totter.

While Ilya and Sofia made themselves dizzy on the merry-go-round and had to rest for a while.
