From February 21-23, 2021, the Theological Institute of The Church of Ingria hosted a course for children’s & youth workers.The training was attended by workers from Petrozavodsk, Rzhev, Toksovo, Yukki, Koltushi, and St. Anne’s church in St. Petersburg.
This time, the main emphasis was on discussion of topical issues, conversation, and artwork. The participants were inspired by new ideas of visual aids & crafts for Sunday school and learned from a masterclass on modeling with salt dough. One of the most important lectures was the one on using the Catechism in classes for children. Also, the participants made a prayer bracelet which they used during morning prayer.
The next course session will be soon– from March 12 through 14, 2021. Contact instructor of the ELCIR Children & Youth Dept. Yelena Tatti to sign up and send your ideas.
