Кирил Митев

They are doing well to talk about the things that really excite young people. In our church in Plovdiv, we also tried years ago, but then the group broke up. I wonder what exactly they discussed - did they mention anything about family and work?

Валентина Соловьёва

We also tried youth meetings in one parish in St. Petersburg, but it quickly fizzled out - everyone left, some to study, some to work. I wonder what exactly was discussed at Lazarevskoye? Kirill is right, young people most often ask about family and work.

Anca Tudor

Here in Sibiu, at the young people from the cathedral, an evening was held about exactly that - how to reconcile work with the idea of starting a family. Many have said that they don't know how to choose between a good salary that keeps you going night after night and the desire to have time for your wife and children. I'm glad that in Vologda they didn't let the discussion die out. What exactly did your youth say about marriage?

Ivana Kostić

Here in Niš, the young people in the church of St. Emperor Constantine also tried to gather around such topics, so it started well, but then the children left for universities. I'm really interested in what exactly they talked about in Lazarevski about family and work, because that's what troubles our boys and girls the most. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, family and work often come first for young people. In Lazarevski, they talked about exactly this - how not to get lost between shifts at the hospital and caring for the child at home. And with you in Plovdiv, what exactly broke up the group, Kirill?

Jovan Savić

Here in Podgorica, young people often start with good ideas and then go their separate ways due to work and studies. In Lazarevsko, they were talking about how to balance family life with shifts and overtime work, that was the main topic. Did your guys in Nis mention any specific problems with that?

Kirill, with us in Plovdiv, the group broke up mostly because people scattered - some went to work in Germany, others simply stopped coming after the children were born. I myself now only go to Sunday liturgy and to the cross on Wednesday, and I can't get enough of the youth ones anymore. What do you think, should we try something simpler, like a walk after service instead of long talks?
