Welcome to the Church Day!
Love toward the church is one of the most significant character traits of a Christian. In this love, the children of God resemble Christ Himself. Love toward the Church was the drive of His life. It motivated Him to become a man; it led Him to the cross. By growing in Christ, we are growing in our love for His church.
Our Church day is an opportunity to see the local congregation in its unity and diversity. It's a chance to express our love and interest in each other's life.
May this love overflow your hearts, especially today!

CHILDREN
Dear parents, we kindly ask you to oversee your children throughout the day and especially during children's activities! Please, do not deligate this responsibility to your older children who may be busy participating in games and fellowshipping with friends.
Our church day usually hosts a few hundred of our little ones that our staff is not able to fully manage. We offer your children a variety of activities to ease your day but the church can not guarantee safety to your children. Please, remember, that the territory is not fully fenced and there is a road adjacent to it.
FELLOWSHIP IDEAS
During the Church Day, we encourage you to meet at least 10 people and find out:
- What was the most valuable lesson God tought them this year;
- Why do they treasure the local church.
