A visit to Jabuka

Sunday morning we attended worship service at the Jabuka United Methodist Church, Branislav's church (see an earlier blog).  The town of Jabuka (pronounced YAH-boo-kah) is about 30 minutes from here.  The church, attended mainly by Roma (gypsies) is known for its lively, spirited singing.  We were privileged to deliver greetings to the congregation (through a translator), listen to a good sermon by pastor Lila (again, translated), hear the children sing a couple of specials and fellowship afterwards over kava (coffee) and rolls.  This church is Serbian speaking;  our "home" church, where we were Sunday evening, speaks Slovak, so we sang hymns and listened to sermons in 2 different languages today. All in all, a day of good experiences.


Welcome to Jabuka UMC!
