From June 30 to July 4, 2025, the Children and Youth Department of the Ingrian Church held its big annual children’s gathering in Koltushi (Leningrad region). This is the most anticipated Christian summer event for children. Over 160 people participated in the gathering. A new workshop was organized for the children – a photography class led by Sofia Razumovskaya (her photos from the event). The Gideon’s Mission gifted each child a New Testament and a Book of Psalms. The Finnish TV channel Yle filmed a report about the gathering. 

From June 12 to 15, a children’s Christian gathering took place in Jukki (Leningrad region), from June 13 to 15 – in Birsk (Bashkiria), and from July 10 to 13 – in Toksovo (Leningrad region). The programs included studying Bible stories, singing hymns, rehearsing and performing skits, making crafts, and playing sports. 

Thanks to God for all the Sunday school teachers!
