dear ones,

The year is fast approaching its end.

That is why we too must prepare ourselves, first of all spiritually for the coming of the Holy Child, but also to carry out the proposed activities.

We meet you with the following needs:

Our parish established during this year Leer Branch:

- starting from October 2022, it will move and we will serve in the Russian Orthodox Church in Leer;

- services will take place, initially, once a month and will be announced in advance;

- Address: Ringstr. 40, 26789 Leer.

Parish Magazine:

- together with this year's Parish Church, we want to launch a publication specific to our parish

- purpose: informing all believers;

- homework: from all fields of general interest for all residents of the parish;

- those who wish to participate in this project: to join the editorial staff, to participate with their own articles; please contact us.

- we want to collaborate with people and companies that can provide useful information for the Romanians in our parish;

- also, this project needs financial support to have continuity.

Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus:

- Santa Nicolae's workshop took place on December 4, 2022 (noodles were decorated, like last year);

- and this year, also on December 4, 2022, we tried to bring a small smile to the face of the angels given to us by God;

- as last year, this was only possible with your involvement:

- On December 25, 2022, we are waiting for Santa Claus to bring gifts to the children of the parish;

- those who want to contribute to the happiness of the children in our Parish are asked to contact us in any way - you can find the contacts below!

The furnishing and beautification of our Place of Prayer:

- on October 18, the main window of the place of worship was replaced

- the dimensions for the iconostasis (iconostasis) have been sent, so that the 2 large royal icons are placed as they should be

- a set of festive icons was ordered - already paid for by a family from the parish

- a new Spoon was ordered for Communion, the old one being in a condition that makes it impossible to use in worship - price 130 euros

- we want to equip the place of worship with carpets (or sleepers) for beautification, but especially for real use for the winter period. - approx. 400 euros

- those who want to be founders and help beautify the House of God, can do it using the bank account of the parish.

Please do not remain indifferent to our actions and activities, as they are primarily dedicated to each of you, for the growth

soulful.

All these proposed actions do nothing but incite Good Deeds!

Show that you know how to do Good Deeds, that you know what Good is and that you care about yourself and those around you!

Change starts with each of us!

"If something doesn't suit you, change that thing.

If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."
