Although the Roma (Gypsy) church has been in Nove Mesto only 1 1/2 years, they planned a community outreach called Family Day.  They advertised by posters and word of mouth and expected around 50 people.  Over 200 showed up.  Six Roma and 4 other people came from Rychnov n. Kneznou to help. Friday night we had a BBQ and music and Linda made chocolate chip cookies for our visitors from Rychnov.  Saturday afternoon there were many activities planned for the children that included crafts, games, sports and face painting.  The kids loved the balloon animals that Ken made for them.  It was great fun for all.  We love to see the co-operation and help the churches give to one another and the reaching out to their communities.  

 Friday evening gathering of helpers for Family Day enjoyed a BBQ and lively music
