Invitation to the "Attakai"

"I want to go to church, but I feel a bit hesitant to go on a Sunday..."
"I wonder what kind of people there are..."
"What kind of person is a priest?"
"I just like the atmosphere of the church and want to go..."

It takes courage for anyone to step into the church,

Stepping into a new community can be a little intimidating.


At Shizuoka Orthodox Church, there are two classes a month, no reservation required, and you can join or leave at any time.

We hold tea parties called "Attakai."

The meaning of "Attakai" is to create a place with a warm atmosphere,

From the conversation that took place, Jesus said, "I am that I am" ( Exodus 3:14 ).

It is filled with the wish that you will be able to feel God's presence.

 

It can also be described as a "missionary meeting" where people learn about the Orthodox Church, where believers and non-believers can interact, and where people can experience the church community.

We will set a simple theme, but we welcome digressions and casual conversation. Participation by simply listening is also welcome.

1st and 3rd Thursday of the month 18:30-19:30

Location: Ark Hall (Parish Hall) next to the church
Parking available (up to 3 cars)

 

No reservation required


The priest and his wife, who will act as facilitator, will be waiting for you.

The priest speaks English.

Please do not criticize others. Please respect the opinions of people with various positions.
