Varner, Bulgaria--Black Sea

Yesterday I travelled to Varner, Bulgaria, a city on the western side of the Black Sea. The city attracts tourist from Russia and southeastern Europe. Most people come to Varner to enjoy the beach during the summer. We had a 90 minute bus ride from Razgrad to Varner.








We visited a couple of Maunday Thursday services at the Eastern Orthodox Church in Varner. I had my picture taken with a Eastern Orthodox Church priest and he blessed me!














On Thursday evening the Church had a Maunday Thursday service. Everyone was seated at a long table and served a lamb dinner. After the dinner we participated in a foot washing service and then shared in communion. Everyone dressed up as first century disciples for the service. It was a fun and meaningful service. I served communion with pastor Nicholi.
