(30.12.12) My mother helps in the church called 'храм воздвижения креста господня на чистом вражке' as a member of the volunteer group. And she's invited me to help there for the New Year service. I also go to this church and so I already knew the clergymen and other people who work there. Today I cleaned up the candelabrums and the icons. I was very glad that I did not miss this opportunity. Today, I could not only do my CAS but I could also practice my Russian and actually communicate with Russian people (which I used to hate because of my bad russian), and learn Russian culture. I myself am Russian-Christian, but I'd never been interested in Russian Orthodox Church. Through this CAS, I understood that I should go to church more often, and try to have contact with Russian culture. Next time I am going to help for Christmas service (6th and 7th).
