I really liked that they were given books with the text of the service and answered on their own. So the children are really participating and not just standing on the sidelines. Well done to Father Hilarion and Bishop Theophilus for organizing it like this.

Yeah, handing out the service books so the kids could actually sing the responses makes all the difference. I remember doing that as a kid at our parish camps — it sticks with you way more than just watching. Good on Fr Ilarion and Bishop Teofil for putting it together.

It’s good that the children were given books with the text of the service and they sang the answers themselves.

Well done Father Hilarion and Bishop Theophilus for organizing everything so well.
