On the first day, department head Yevgenia Gavrilenko talked about the setup of Sunday school, the Biblical contents of its classes, the year’s curriculum, the structure of lessons, discipline, and how to organize children’s festivals. The congregation’s senior pastor Timur Pamyatnykh gave a talk about the most important Lutheran doctrine of Law and Gospel.

 

On day 2, trainer Zinaida Lourié introduced her listeners to the Godly Play® methodology and facilitated a workshop. Before church on Sunday, the class was introduced to the Deep Talk methodology and recapped what they had heard during the seminar.

 

Many thanks to the church in Novosibirsk for helping organize the seminar! We wish our ministers blessings and boldness from God as they witness to Christ!
