  • International Women’s Day of Prayer in Bucharest, Romania

Friday evening
The special women’s program began on Friday night in a warm, joyful, and hopeful atmosphere. A roll-up on the stage displayed the layout of the prayer booklets offered to all women as the symbol of an invitation to a deeper life of communion with God. A special moment of the evening was provided by the children’s group led by Emima Bucur, who opened the program with a song performed on the recorder, adding a touch of sensitivity and beauty. At the conclusion of Friday evening, Mihail Drăghici led the congregation in the hymn “A Beautiful Time for Prayer,” leaving in the hearts of those present a spirit of peace and devotion.

Sabbath morning
The Sabbath morning began with a devotional presented by Alexandra Popov, followed by a special moment of prayer: the congregation organized into ten groups, each receiving a small flag with a specific topic. In just a few minutes, the entire church united in prayer, covering all the proposed topics through faith.

The Sabbath School program
The Sabbath School program was coordinated by Diana Necula, and the main message of the day was presented by Lavinia Goran, under the title “He Turns Tears into Stars”—a heartfelt call to trust and hope in God, even in the most difficult moments. The message was complemented by a hymn performed by Adriana Borcan, in perfect harmony with the sermon’s theme.

 A symbolic gesture
A symbolic and thoughtful gesture was the presentation of a scarf to all the women, girls, and young girls in attendance, and non-Adventists also received books as gifts. The church choir contributed to the atmosphere of worship with two special hymns, and the morning program concluded with a prayer by Pastor Claudiu Goran.

Afternoon Seminar
The afternoon continued with a seminar presented by Dr. Marilena Mitrache, titled “The Prayer of the Woman with Many Responsibilities,” a practical and encouraging resource for daily life. At the end, all the women received biblical promises, whose messages brought joy, comfort, and hope to the hearts of those present.

 The participation of non-Adventists added an extra sense of openness and joy, as they expressed
appreciation for the warm and deeply spiritual atmosphere, as well as their desire to return to such gatherings. It was a Sabbath in which hearts were united in prayer under God’s blessing!
