Educational meetings for Temperance Day were held in Nizhnyaya Turatranslated

September 11, 2026 · 1 min read

On September 10 and 11, educational events dedicated to the All-Russian Day of Sobriety took place in the city of Nizhnyaya Tura. They were conducted by the rector of the Church of the Three Saints, Priest Sergius Klivekin, and the director of the Sunday School, N. A. Korobeynikova.

The meetings took place at several venues: at the Nizhneturinsk gymnasium, at a rehabilitation boarding house, and also at the church itself, where students from school No. 1 came for a conversation.

During the events, conversations were held with schoolchildren, which were accompanied by a visual presentation. The meetings ended with a small treat - the children were offered sweet lemonade. A special touch of the promotion were the unique labels on the drinks: they were specially designed for this event.

The events contributed to the formation of a conscious attitude among the participants to the issues of sobriety and a healthy lifestyle, and also made it possible to reveal in an accessible form the spiritual and moral meaning of the All-Russian Day of Sobriety.

Good to see Father Sergiy and Natalia Alexandrovna teaming up on this again. The custom labels on the lemonade is a nice touch — kids will actually remember that. Did any of the students from school No. 1 mention what stuck with them from the talk?

Good thing they used the special labels on the lemonade again, the kids really remember them. I am glad that father Sergei and Natalia Alexandrovna also went to the gymnasium and the rehabilitation home, not only to school no. 1. What did the students like the most in that presentation?

Jelena Pavlović

Thank God that father Sergije and Natalia Alexandrovna are together again. That idea with special labels on lemonade is nice, children really remember such little things. I wonder if the children from school number 1 remembered anything in particular from the conversation in the church.

It is good that Father Sergius and N. A. Korobeynikova are working together again. I love the idea of those special labels on the lemonade – kids really remember little things like that. I wonder if any of the students from the high school or the boarding school said what exactly stayed in their head from the presentation.

It is good that Father Serhiy and Natalia Oleksandrivna worked together again. I especially liked that they went not only to school No. 1 and the gymnasium, but also to the rehabilitation boarding house - there, perhaps, such a conversation is most needed. I wonder if any of the kids later remembered those special labels on the lemonade or anything specific from the presentation.

Vasile Constantinescu

Yes, those special labels really stick in the kids' heads, I saw them at a similar event. I'm also glad that Father Serghei and Natalia Alexandrovna reached the gymnasium and the rehabilitation home, that's where I think the discussion mattered the most. What do you think the students liked the most from the presentation, Anca?

It's good that you mentioned the rehabilitation boarding house, such conversations are really more appropriate there. I myself once saw how, after such a meeting, a man then came to the church and began to ask about fasting. And the labels on the lemonade, by the way, could also be made here in Poltava - it's a simple thing, but it's memorable. Did any of you share afterwards how the children reacted?
