Christmas Mystery 2025

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank every family, children, and parents who took part together with us in the 2025 Christmas event “Christmas Mystery”. Your smiles, joy, and participation helped create a special festive atmosphere and also symbolically save the little lambs 🐑🤍. In this story about lambs, a deeper truth is hidden. The Bible tells us that we humans, too, are sometimes like lambs who have strayed from the Shepherd, searching for our own way and getting lost:

“We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned to our own way.” (Isaiah 53:6)

God loves us very much and does not leave us alone. He sent Jesus, who says of Himself:

“I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)

Jesus comes not to condemn, but to seek, save, and lead home — to safety, peace, and love. He invites both adults and children:

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

We wish every family to see this beautiful spiritual truth — that we have a Shepherd who knows us, loves us, and is waiting. May Jesus’ light, peace, and hope accompany you also in everyday life after the holidays

Christmas – a special time for our congregation

They asked: «Where is the King of the Jews who has been born? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.»

Gospel of Matthew 2:2

On our website and on social media we use a star icon that symbolizes Christ’s birth for us. Our congregation’s unofficial name is “Рождество”, i.e., "Christmas", or, more precisely, the Feast of the Nativity of Christ. And this is not by chance: for us, Christmas is a particularly special celebration—a time of joy, hope, and ожидание miracles. But it is also significant that the congregation was registered in December 1996, right before Christmas, and since then December has become a month of special events.

Every year we gather for holiday services, organize children’s celebrations and Advent wreath workshops, and in the past we organized Christmas performances and trips to orphanages. For our congregation, Christmas is not only one of the most important celebrations for all Christians, but also a symbol of the birth of something new—the beginning of our congregation’s life and the uniting of people in love and service. Of course, we meet not only at Christmas—there are many interesting activities in the congregation for those who are seeking God and want to get to know the Bible more deeply.

More about what’s happening in the congregation

Christmas is not only a beautiful holiday season, but a real and decisive event in human history. In it we remember the moment when Almighty God entered the world as a little child—Jesus Christ. He was born to live a completely sinless life, to reveal God’s love to people, and ultimately—through His death on the cross—to pay the price for our sins. Christmas reminds us that God Himself came to us to give us forgiveness, salvation, and hope. May God bless you to rediscover Christmas anew!
