It’s good that Bishop Kallinik reminded us about prayer before classes. Here in Germany, children also often start the year without this, but in vain. Let everything go smoothly in the new school year.
Yes, prayer before class is important. In Voronezh, we always started Sunday school this way, and then the children behaved more calmly. Thanks to Bishop Kallinikos for reminding me.
Marina, you correctly noticed about prayer - without it, the day somehow starts differently. In our Sunday school in Tula, we also always pray before classes, the children get used to it. And in Germany, what city do you live in, if it’s not a secret?
In our parish school in Krasnodar, we also always read the Lord’s Prayer before lessons, and it’s true that the children fidget less later. Vladyka Kallinikos reminded me well, without this the beginning of the year is somehow empty. Marina, what state of Germany do you live in, if it’s not a secret?
Thank you, Konstantin, prayer really helps to tune in. In our Sunday school, we also always start with “Our Father,” and then the children sit more calmly. Do you have a large group or a small one in Tula?
In our Sunday school in Munich, we also always read the Lord’s Prayer before classes, and then the children actually sit more quietly and are less distracted. Bishop Kallinikos correctly reminded that without prayer, the beginning of the year is somehow crumpled. Marina, in what city is your parish?
Prayer before lessons really does settle the kids down. We always started our Sunday school class in Chicago the same way with the Our Father, and you could see the difference right away. Marina, which city in Germany are you in?
