Friends, I will be travelling to Moscow Friday for a visit with our community Hossana until February 4th when I return to New York and shall be able to give you a first hand account of the work. What I should like to share with you this time is secondly but importantly a reminder of the Hosanna annual appeal, but first an idea of the content of our quarterly magazine DOROGA VMESTE = "Journey Together". So a translation of the table of contents of of the Spring 2007 issue. First a picture of the table of contents: (photo on the left is of the recently departed priest George Chistiukov who was so important for so many) http://voyager.smugmug.com/photos/242613375-X2-1.jpg No 2./2007 Read In This Issue Salt of the Earth 2.

Perhaps in a general way this gives a feeling at least of the magazine which is one of the many projects for mission which your support makes possible. Now to briefly report the progress of the annual appeal: we need $40,000 we have received $5745 we have pledges of about $7000 and we understand that many who have not yet pledged will do so , so it is not entirely simple to say if we are doing well or less well, but perhaps just a little slowly this year yet we are grateful to all... and as to you? will you be with us and help to enable this work on behalf of a coming Springtime of the Church...? we wait your word...
