Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.
Day 7: Total So Far: $838

"Nail Your Sin": Russian Church Organizes an Event to Repent


Residents of Ivanovo to "Nail" Their Sins

Ivanovo, Russia
September 30, 2009
Interfax

The Nail Your Sin action is held in Ivanovo with the support of Orthodox youth.

The event organizers set a wooden column before the chapel near the Scientific Library and participants in the action should nail with the hammer a sheet of paper with their sins, the local diocese has informed Interfax on Wednesday.

All comers can repent in such an unusual way, and participants in the action also have a chance to talk to clerics.
