On July 7, pupils of the tent educational and recreational camp “Brighter Together”, operating on the basis of the Bakshtovsky secondary school named after M.N. Chernik, took an excursion to the local church of the great martyr and healer Panteleimon.

A meeting was organized for the children with the rector of the church, Archpriest Vitaly Utekalko, during which a conversation took place on the topic “The Christian view of the health of soul and body.” The priest told the campers about the spiritual causes of illness and the importance of prayer for family and friends.

During the meeting, the children learned about the life of the holy prophet and Baptist of the Lord John, to whom believers turn with prayers for the healing of soul and body. In addition, camp students were able to take part in the worship service.

It’s good that the children not only heard about the health of the soul, but also attended the service. Last year in our camp we also took the children to Panteleimon, after which one boy himself asked for prayer for his grandmother. Well done for organizing a meeting with Father Vitaly.

It is good that the children not only heard about the health of the soul and body, but also stood at the service. We also took a group to Panteleimon last year, after which one boy came by himself and asked to pray for his grandfather. Father Vitaly always speaks well with the children, well done for inviting them.
