On March 16 and 17, 2024, Velmema Lutheran Church in Saransk, Mordovia, hosted seminars on premarital and family relationships. The presenters were Pastor Valeri and Natalia Antipov, ELCIR family work coordinators.
The youth cluster discussed what love and marriage are, the goals and tasks of marriage according to the Bible and men’s and women’s view of love.
After the worship service where Rev. Antipov preached a sermon, the group discussed generation differences in family and society, the principles of a family relationship, and learned about the family life experience of the Antipovs with 25 years in marriage.
Thanks be to the Lord for the meeting and the fellowship!
