The worship service was followed by a children’s program, a charity sale, lunch, outdoor games, the choirs’ performances, and Ingrian national songs and circle dances with Ryontyushki, a folklore ensemble from Toksovo. Bishop Emeritus Arri Kugappi said a homily during the program around a campfire.
Thanks be to God for the opportunity to get together, for the good weather, and for each and every person who prepared this great festival!
