Christmas holiday for children
For everyone Christmas is a favorite christian holiday, and for true christians it is one of the most important days in the holiday calendar. This is a time of remembrance of Jesus Christ, the God who became a man for the sake of saving people.
«The most important thing is that they talked a lot about Jesus Christ here, they told it simply, easily, and clearly. Thank God!» – Anna Vlasenko.
In early January, the «Christ is the answer» church hosted a Christmas holiday for children and their parents, dedicated to the birth of the Savior. An interesting festive program was organized for the guests: songs of glorification, fun games, contests on the topic of Christmas, watching a Christmas cartoon. Each child received a delicious gift, was able to eat cotton candy and popcorn. Adults were also not left without Christmas souvenirs – christian literature was prepared for them, as well as thematic calendars. All this was organized by the ministers to show the love of God, to tell about the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ.
«The holiday was wonderful: there was a cartoon about Jesus, the children watched it with great pleasure, I liked the contests – everything went so easily. It is good that children accept this information, learn, get to know more about God» – Alla Melnychuk.
More than seventy children had the opportunity to have a good time and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere of love, kindness, understanding and care. Adults were able to leave everything behind, escape from the gray everyday life and in this difficult time among the worries of life, become more cheerful and find joy. The holiday helped to move away from everyday life and focus on God, listen to The Voice of Jesus and His words of love and encouragement.
«The atmosphere here is very pleasant, children like it. We are all grateful to the ministers of the church for this holiday in our everyday life» – Viktor Bilous.
Christmas holidays are days when christians have another great opportunity to show attention to their neighbor, to show God’s love to all people through festive services, congratulations and gifts. The ministers of the «Christ is the answer» church gave children and parents not only a good mood, but also were able to convey the important truth that the most important gift for Christmas is Jesus Christ himself. It is hoped that all those who were on this holiday will allow Jesus to be born in their hearts and live there forever.
«I am very glad that today God allowed us to hold a holiday for children, a holiday in honor of the Birth of Christ. I am sure that the children who attended this event today will remember not only the sweets they received, but also remember the most popular person in the world – Jesus Christ, understand why he was born and came to this world. And we sincerely wish that as many people as possible will hear about the Savior, take him into their hearts and receive salvation» – Taras Sen, pastor of the «Christ is the answer» church.
Give
All areas of service of the community are carried out through voluntary donations of caring people. The most important thing is not the size of the donation, but the attitude and condition of the heart. God sees our needs and seeks to deprive us of our worries. He also wants to see the love and sacrifice of our grateful hearts. «Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver!» (2 Cor. 9:7).
