Jenn: It was good to meet you, too. You need to join us on Sundays when we have more Russians in attendance, and we can both understand what Father is saying! At least he did warn us that it would be mainly in Greek before he got started.
Plus, as I told you, Sundays are a little more relaxed and take a little longer. Father is a fast-talker, but the rest of us are not.
Greg, is there a "Greek for Dummies" book out there? I had a tough time recognizing when to even cross myself today, and I wished I could recite the Creed and The Lord's Prayer (at least) with the others. Maybe if the book had THAT part written out phonetically, I could have participated more. It was all I could do to keep up with where we were in the service, let alone what part of the prayer we were up to...
