A Newsletter of MPC’s Food Sharing Ministry
March 2008
  Food bags provided by the German Embassy will be handed out at Mosfilmovskaya on Friday, March 7. Food bags provided for Kuznetsky Most clients supplied by MPC will also be passed out on the 7th. The food bags will contain staples such as sugar, tea, rice and cooking oil. International Women’s Day will be celebrated at Mosfilmovskaya and Kuznetsky Most with brownies donated by families from the American Embassy on Friday, March 7. Thanks to all the families who volunteered to make brownies for the estimated 250 customers. We are planning to have another yogurt run to Campina in Stupino sometime this month. Please contact Pastor Bob or Mike Muraoka if you are interested in helping. All clients with March birthdays will be feted on Monday, March 17 at Mosfilmovskaya. They will be recognized, and presented with a small gift and birthday card. The soup kitchens will be closed for the International Women’s Day holiday on Monday, March 10. Profiles of the Month: This month’s profiles are from the Mosfilmovskaya soup kitchen which serves pensioners and persons with disabilities.
Client profile: We’ve all seen Pavel coming at the soup kitchen, but did you know this about him?
 Pavel was born in the small town of Yrevets near the city of Ivanova, which is an 11 hour train and bus ride northeast of Moscow. In 1943, he was sent to Moscow because of illness and has remained. He studied and worked in mechanical construction. The project he is most proud of is the VDNKh exhibition center where he worked on many of the pavilions. He lives near Mosfilmovskaya on Universitetskiy Prospekt. He has two sons living in Moscow and 2 grandchildren. He enjoys listening to the radio, watching movies and reading magazines. When he was younger he played traditional Russian musical instruments.
Client profile: We’ve all seen Vetcheslav coming at the soup kitchen, but did you know this about him?

 Vechislav was born and spent all his life in Moscow. His parents were also from Moscow. He studied at the Bomonskaya Technology Institute as a technology scientist specializing in mechanical construction and worked in a factory making components for buildings. He has no children or other family. His hobbies are making things such as furniture and small items. He lives in north Moscow near the Savjolovskaya metro station.
The soup kitchen is part of Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy’s food service ministry. Information about MPC and its food service ministry can be found at http://www.moscowprotestantchaplaincy.org/fsm.htm

    I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world.It is not an expression of impractical idealism but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of an Utopian dreamer,love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization.    To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe.Someone must have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil,and this only be done through love....Martin Luther king Jr. 1957
