On July 8, the rector of the Church of the Three Saints of the city of Nizhnyaya Tura, Priest Sergius Klivekin, and the supernumerary cleric of the Serov diocese, Priest Anatoly Kuznetsov, visited the State Autonomous Institution of Social Services of the Sverdlovsk Region “Center for Social Assistance to Families and Children of the City of Nizhnyaya Tura.”

During the visit, the clergy congratulated the children and everyone present on the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. The warm atmosphere of the meeting was complemented by the performance of the pupils of the Sunday school of the Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God in the city of Nizhnyaya Tura - they presented a puppet fairy tale, which delighted the children and adults.

The event ended with a general prayer for increased love and the sprinkling of those present with holy water.

Спасибо за такой тёплый визит. Особенно порадовало, что дети из воскресной школы показали кукольную сказку — наверняка ребятишки в центре улыбались до ушей. Молитва в конце — самое нужное, что можно было оставить.

It’s good that the priests not only came to congratulate us, but also brought the children from Sunday school with a puppet fairy tale. Children in such a center will definitely remember this. Prayer at the end is the right thing to do.

It is good that the fathers not only congratulated the family on the Day of the Family, but also brought the children from the Intercession Sunday School with a puppet fairy tale. Apparently, the children in the center were really happy. The prayer at the end is the main thing they endured.

It’s good that they brought the children from Sunday school with a puppet fairy tale - the children in such a center will definitely remember it for a long time. A prayer at the end and sprinkling with water are the most necessary things that could be left after congratulations. Thank you priests for your concern.

I'm glad that the fathers brought the children from Pokrovskaya voskresnoy school with a puppet fairy tale. In such a center, the children were really happy and bright after that. Prayer at the end and holy water — the most correct thing to leave.

Екатерина Андреева

I agree, Valentina, a puppet fairy tale is something that children at the center will definitely remember, especially when everything is so lively and homely. In our Sunday school, just after such trips, the children themselves then ask when we will go again. And the prayer at the end - yes, this is the main thing that remains.

Yes, that puppet show from the Pokrov Sunday school kids was a lovely touch — I can just picture the smiles it brought. The prayer and holy water at the end really tied it all together nicely. Did you happen to catch which fairy tale they performed?

George Smith

Yeah, the puppet show was a nice touch — those kids from Pokrov always put real heart into it. I heard it was "The Turnip," the one where everybody has to pull together. Did you ever see them do that one before?

Hannah Hall

Yes, "The Turnip" was perfect for the occasion — all those characters tugging together really drove home the family unity theme. I hadn't seen the Pokrov kids perform it before, but my granddaughter mentioned they practiced it for weeks in the church hall. Did it go over well with the little ones at the center?

Peter Adams

Yeah, "The Turnip" fits the family theme perfectly — everyone yanking on that rope together. I saw the Pokrov kids do it last summer at the parish picnic, and the little ones at the centre were giggling the whole time, especially when the grandma joined in. Did you catch the show yourself?
