On a recent Saturday the kiddos were invited to a birthday party.  Our American mentality is drop the kids off and pick them up after a couple of hours.  This was a, drop the kids off and pick them up 8 hours later!! Ha!




In reading up on this church I learned it is a fairly young church, having been built from 1898 to 1913 for the 50th jubilee of Francis Joseph I.

We took Reegan & Brennan on the Dizzy Mouse as well.  They did well on it.  I learned that I don't like roller coasters like I once did!  Oh, I'm getting old!!

Jerry took Karis on a bigger roller coaster.  I wasn't able to get a good shot.  She was a bit anxious starting out, but she had fun!

It's about time I told you about our new church start, Crossway!

Last Fall we started meeting with about 10 families.  There are so many internationals since the UN has one of it's headquarters in Vienna.  We currently meet on Sunday afternoons and this week we will start 2 home groups.  One will be meeting in our home.   We hope and pray to see some of these groups expanding in to different languages. 


In December we had an advent service.  A local Syriac Orthodox Church was gracious enough to allow us to use their facilities.


In January we secured another location where we will meet on a long term temporary basis (until this Summer).  It's not ideal as we would like to have our worship time in the mornings and we can only have this space at 1:30 pm (not ideal for families with napping children).  But it has many positive features and will be a good fit for us as we get this group going.

We look forward to sharing more with you in the months to come as we see what God has in store!!
