“Life in service”: lesson at Sunday school “Candles”translated

November 13, 2026 · 1 min read

On November 8, at the Sunday school “Svechechki” at the church in the name of the Prophet and Forerunner of the Lord John in the city of Ulyanovsk, a lesson was held on the topic “Life in service.”

During the lesson, students learned how the concepts of “work” and “service” differ. The children were explained what selfless activity is: helping others, fulfilling a religious duty, or serving society. The guys discussed why this is more important than personal gain and careerism.

Divided into three groups, the guys prepared stories about professions related to service. One of the groups presented a message about priestly service using the example of the life path of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus'.

At the end of the lesson, the students played the game “Web of Kindness.”
