the parishioner makes his contribution to the liturgical and educational life of the temple. rejoice, everyone , queen, not our spirit of healing grace. the choir in the church of the intercession of the most holy theotokos is organized with the help of parishioners. the church was built, together with it the parish community was strengthened, just as the walls were erected brick by brick, so the church choir gathered voice to voice, and today everyone who comes to the church notes the special sound of prayers and chants, but the choir is an integral part of the divine service. temple, and just like that i remember, along the alleys of the school park, the rector of the temple is unknown to us.

eight years ago, the school and the well-known creative personnel there grew up, well, there was a lot of listening, well, the pastor and the old choir , the beginning of this very special great work, every day, once every thousand, and maybe even twice there were, there were rappers, and this has been going on for a whole year, and only since 2012, our choir has already...increasing ceremonies, this significance of services, the first - this current liturgy has been, and past the teachings of all astonishment, let me tell you about the service, well, the choir is currently changing a little for the 11th year, some of us are retiring for certain reasons, and some of our new ones are returning , our choir has been populated for eight years, at the arrival of the temple, the intercession of the most holy theotokos operates a sunday school where through games, conversations lay down the basic

principles of religion, form moral values ​​and create a special friendly atmosphere. the most important thing in the classes is goodwill, so that the children feel calm, so that they remember this atmosphere, so good, happy in the temple, and carried it into their home, so that in different life situations, when they have already finished school, they go into adulthood, so that they have very bright memories of the temple, and so that they always know that they can come to the temple at any moment, you can always turn to god in different life circumstances, that god never leaves a person, a person can leave god, but god is always next to a person, learning in sunday school affects not only religious education, children learn communication, discipline, joint work, reveal your talents and abilities.

there is such a tradition, we always prepare theatrical performances for christmas and easter, we congratulate not only our parishioners , but also the children perform at the azirite-sloboda school, it is very touching to see this every year when the children are not some kind of professional actors, but with what enthusiasm and dedication they really learn these words and the very big words of this production , skit, i really like... going to sunday school, learning something more about god, we have holidays, we most often we prepare different performances, and then everyone gathers to watch and give out small gifts, and we also do all sorts of crafts, there on the days of saints, well, angels, guardians on one mother, we do all sorts of crafts.

despite the fact that sunday school is designed for young hearts, adults fall under its beneficial influence, because you always want to share new knowledge with your family, friends and peers. we adults don’t know everything, but thanks to children we also enrich ourselves and develop, learn new information, and of course, thank you very much, i would like to say for this work, because today it is very important... to give children good , correct, necessary, useful information and to convey to them those things that shape them today, while he is still, let’s say, only at the beginning of his journey, that’s all this is there, and we, too, thanks to this, are becoming better, probably, well , it seems to me that at the pokrovsk church there is also its own bakery, where they bake prosphora, liturgical bread, which is not... from

greek as an offering and in ancient times people brought bread to the church themselves and asked for a priest remember your family and friends. and for the name of each relative and friend , a particle is still taken out of the prosphora. at the end of the service, all these particles are lowered into the chalice with the body of the blood of christ, with a special prayer that the sins of all those commemorated here will be washed away. previously, when we didn’t have this regiata, we kneaded with our hands. i had to work for an hour and a half, this is very labor-intensive work and my hands were all sore, but now 15 minutes and the dough is ready, well, we bake not only prosvors, but we bake breads, artas, and such large prosovki, always with prayer, before starting

we pray during the warm-up period, we also pray to the king of heaven, this is to the saint. well, after the end of the mother of god, we pray and bake with prayer. today this obedience is performed by the parishioners of the temple. behind every perfect gesture you can feel many years of experience and love for your work. they were initially very afraid to begin this obedience and did not know how to begin. and they consulted with the local convent in damosani, the nuns, how they baked, and with the passage of time, with experience, they are now making wonderful breads, what they should be, lithium bread for performing lithium during the evening service, these are arthasses, special easter bread, that is

, the parishioners themselves completely provide for their parish , we do everything together in turn, she is one thing, then i am another, so in turn we’re doing it, it’s going smoothly, it’s going well, it’s working out. i’m happy, though i haven’t been here for long, 5 years, so i came to this, my father appointed me here to help ivanovna. the territory of the pokrovsky church is surrounded by hedges, bright flower beds, green lawns, love is felt in everything care, the temple has its own experimental site, where colorful herbs are fragrant almost all year round. father john tradition. decorate the temple with flowers, in connection with this we have additional requirements , to plant flowers on our own plot that florists could use in flower arrangements, starting with tulips, then peonies bloom, we have a whole collection of them, then lilies bloom, then bloom glaziolos,

now they are in bloom, then the astros , the season ends with chrysanthemums, and we are very happy when, in fact, all the compositions florists consist only of our flowers. all flowers and plants were donated to the temple by parishioners. each colorful inflorescence requires special care, but the temple has a special pride: in the summer, a lilac carpet flares up among the fragrant herbs. our parishioner also donated lavanda to us. and surprisingly, it has grown so beautifully here, despite the fact that it seems to be a plant that is not quite in our climate zone. here's the song. church domes, our plants grow just fine. there is also the church of the intercession one feature is the unusual iconostasis, which is located in the temple of philoret the merciful. all the icons on it are embroidered by hand.

it took the craftswoman, a parishioner of this church, more than 3 years of painstaking work, prayer and love to create the iconostasis. the residents of slabotsk proudly say that the iconostasis is the only one in its... uniqueness in belarus. in faith and love, in sorrow and joy , the parish of the church of the intercession of the most holy theotokos writes its history. over the years of its existence , the parish community has acquired its own traditions and significant dates, united hearts and souls, and most importantly, it united the local residents into a large, friendly family. the modern church parish is slightly different from the city one. rural areas, in rural areas the priest knows everyone by name, this is not an exaggeration, he really knows who lives where, who has what needs, and this greatly unites the community, we are truly one church family, and we try to support each other, this gives

strength to go forward, and gives us the opportunity to learn from each other, not only the parishioners listen to my word, which they... the gospel word, but i also learn from the parishioners, their love for each other, their love for work, their love for god and for the temple. their way to the temple, some are led by life's trials, and others are led by the call of their hearts. under the high arches of the pokrovsk church , many destinies intertwined. help, support, unity in faith are the main foundation on which the parish community is built. the very essence of life in the temple is for a person to feel the presence of god here, and the presence of god even in our lower temple in the upper one, even more so. well, you can feel it, it’s impossible to convey it, you’re flying here on wings
