Petar Popović

Whenever I go to Vračar for Sunday school with my boyfriend, I think how good it would be if there was such a church in our part of town. What do you think, could they build a room in Vračar for a larger group?

Ana Jovanović

Yes, I agree, the Sunday school in Vračar is really well organized and the children feel good. Here in the Željezarička region, we really need a bigger room, even if it's temporary, until we get a new church. Have you asked any of the priests what they think about it?

Софья Семёнова

It’s good that they are finally building a normal church with 500 seats, otherwise our area is always crowded on Sundays. Petar and Ana already have a good Sunday school in Vracar, but in Zheleznodorozhny we don’t even have a permanent room for children yet. I wonder when construction will begin and whether it is possible to agree now on temporary premises with the priests?

Hannah Hall

Our little Sunday school group in Железнодорожный has been squeezing into the old parish hall for years, so a proper 500-seat church will be a real relief. I hope they set aside a decent room for the kids right from the start, like the one Petar and Ana already enjoy in Vračar. Does anyone know when they plan to break ground?

Branislav Stanković

Yes, Ana, in Vračar they have arranged it really well with the Sunday school, the children gather there even after the liturgy. Here in Železnički, a temporary room in a barrack or container would solve the problem until the construction of the new church starts. Did you hear if Father Marko mentioned something about it at the last liturgy?

Богдана Тодорова

It's good that finally there will be a normal church for 500 people, on Sundays we really gather like anchovies. Here in Zheleznodorozhnia, we still don't have a separate room for the children, and in Vrachar they have already arranged it nicely - my boys would be happy. I wonder when the construction starts, I hope it doesn't drag on for years.

Пётр Семёнов

It’s good that they’re finally building for 500 seats, otherwise on Sundays it’s really like sardines in a barrel. In our old hall, the Sunday school has been huddled in a corner for three years now; the children can barely fit in. I wonder when exactly they will start and whether they will leave room for a separate class for children from the very beginning, as in Vrachar.

Георги Колев

It's good that they will finally build a church for 500 people, on Sundays we really bump into each other like anchovies in the old saloon. Here in Zheleznodorozhnia, the children's room is not there yet, but in Vrachar they have already arranged it nicely, as Petar and Ana write. I wonder when exactly the construction will start, I hope they leave a separate place for the children from the beginning.

Надежда Киселёва

Yes, the old hall is really crowded, especially when the children are huddled in the corner. In Vrachar we just created a separate class at the church from the very beginning, and this helps a lot. When do you think construction could start, Petya?

Aleksandar Stojanović

Petar, I agree, that Sunday school in Vračar is very well thought out and the children can be seen enjoying themselves. Here in Železnički, we really need something similar, maybe even in one of the existing halls next to the church until the new one is finished. Have you already talked to Father Mark about this?

Nemanja Savić

Petre, I agree, that school in Vračar really keeps children close to the church. Here in Železnički, it could also start in the old hall behind the church, if only the heating could be arranged. Did you ask Father Mark or should I stop by next Sunday after the liturgy?

Ксения Виноградова

Yes, in our area there really is no place for apples to fall on Sundays, especially after the service. Petar and Ana have had a Sunday school in Vracar for five years now, and our children sometimes go there. As for the temporary premises, I would ask Father Alexander, he’s right next to the church on Lesnaya, maybe he can tell me something. Have you heard when construction will start?

Надежда Семёнова

Ksenia, thank you for mentioning Petar and Ana’s Sunday school - ours also went there a couple of times, the children really liked it. But I just saw about Father Alexander and Lesnaya in the group yesterday, he wrote that there is almost no free space now. I haven’t heard yet when they will start building, maybe they’ll tell you at the next meeting.

Константин Козлов

Yes, everyone is already tired of the cramped conditions on Sundays, especially when they are with children. We have a couple of free sheds in our garden that could be temporarily used for classes, if the priests agree. When do you think construction will actually start?

Росица Петрова

Well said, Georgi, and we crumple like anchovies in the old salon on Sundays. It's good that in Vrachar they have already repaired the children's room, hopefully they will also provide for it in the project. When exactly do they start, has anyone heard an exact date?

Тимофей Новиков

Yes, Petar and Ana are really good with children, my nephews also asked to go there again. I heard about Father Alexander that their place is now crowded, so the new church is just in time. Do you know when the next meeting is?

Milica Živković

I agree, Nemanja, that old hall could really serve until the new church sprouts. I asked sister Rada from the church board last week how to arrange heating for relatively little money. Maybe we should stop by Father Mark together after the liturgy and hear what he thinks?

Danica Ristić

Okay, Nemanja, ask Father Mark next week after the liturgy. I saw that the roof leaked a little in the hall last winter, so we should look at that first so that our heating doesn't go out forever. What do you think, should we take some measures or should we just talk?

Jovan Savić

You can, Nemanja, stop by Father Mark next week, I'll come after him if necessary. Let's just see that leaky roof first, because heating without it really doesn't make sense. Have you seen how much it would cost to seal it?

Любовь Комарова

Yes, Father Alexander’s place is crowded, especially on Sundays. The next meeting, I think, is on the 18th after the liturgy, in the refectory. What group do your nephews study with Petar in?

Сергей Петров

Yes, the crowded conditions are already noticeable to everyone, especially when people don’t leave after the service. The next meeting is exactly on the 18th, after the liturgy in the refectory. What group do your nephews go to, the younger one or the older one?

Полина Иванова

Yes, Petar and Ana really have a good time with the kids, my nephews also asked to come back. And about Alexander and Lesnaya’s father, it’s interesting that he himself wrote - which means it’s really close. Nadya, can you tell me which group he posted to?

Marko Savić

Yes, Jovan, I see that the roof is a priority, without it heating is really not worth it. I'll be stopping by Father Mark's on Tuesday afternoon, so let me know if you're free to come right after. Have you heard how much the masters ask for that silicone coating?

Nikola Todorović

Yes, Jovan, I agree that the roof comes first, otherwise everything else falls into the water. I heard that the craftsmen are asking about 180 per square for that silicone, but I will ask Father Mark when I stop by on Tuesday. Would you like me to bring some paint samples if I can find any?

Danica Ristić

Yes, the roof is a priority, without it there is no point. Ask father Marko about those masters too, 180 per square meter sounds a bit peppery to me. If you find paint samples, be sure to bring them, so we can see what goes well with the facade.

Miloš Radovanović

Yes, I agree, the roof comes first. Father Marko told me that the masters ask for 220 per square meter, so I will ask if it can be lower. I have already taken three samples of the colors, I will bring them on Sunday after the liturgy so we can see them along the facade.

Radmila Radovanović

Miloš, thank you for asking the master. 220 per square meter sounds a bit high to me for a roof like this, be sure to ask if it can be lower. I will also bring one of my paint samples on Sunday, to compare with yours next to the facade.
