The Matthias Family > On Easter Sunday, several of the musicians were playing and singing out front. With the exception of Pastor's wife (who plays piano), most of the musicians are teens or young people. As you can see, the church holds services in an apartment it rents. During the week, a Christian kindergarten-preschool, Creative Hearts, operates there. In fact, this is where Corrie Mae attends 1st grade 4 days a week. Her classes are also held completely in Russian.
The Matthias Family > St. Volodymir's Cathedral, named after the founder of Christianity iin Ukraine.
