The Odessa Presbyterian Church will be host to a widely publicized "International Organ Festival" in April! They have invited 5 concert organists from across Europe to participate. The church will web-cast the performances.

The organ was a gift of donors in the USA, who responded to an appeal from Pastor Larry Roff (Schenectady, NY) to place a pipe organ in the century-old Presbyterian church in Odessa, Ukraine. They host two benefit concerts per month, with donations going to local hospitals and charities. They pastors always give an introduction, reminding the enthusiastic audience that this is more than a music hall: "We are an active church, with services each Sunday. Please join us for worship! Here is what we believe...". They then share the Gospel with their Ukrainian neighbors, and usually share the connection of the organ music with the Christian Faith.

Please pray for the festival to be a clear witness to Christ, especially in the Easter season when we celebrate his Death and Resurrection!
