Dear brothers and sisters,
In September we will finish our study of Colossians. At the end of the epistle, the apostle sends greetings from his co-workers, who share with him the sufferings for the gospel. Let us also be encouraged to stand for the truth of Christ, even though this world rejects it.
Thank you very much for your generous donations to our Haskovo missionary project. We have already reached and surpassed our goal of BGN 3,000 and have collected BGN 3,200. Of course, if any of you have decided to donate more to the church in Haskovo, we will be happy to pass on your love. The pastor will visit the church at the end of September.
You all know about the massive renovation of the bell tower. Up to this point, the repair has cost us over 100,000 BGN. We had to take a loan from the Union Administration in the amount of BGN 20,000, which we will have to pay back in the next 5 years. Please help us with special donations. We ask you to help us with special donations for the renovation.
In September we will start the Bible study groups. If you haven't participated in a study group before, ask for more information. We have in-person weekly groups, online groups, a monthly men's gathering, and a monthly women's Bible study group.
On September 23, we are organizing a visit-picnic in the village of Veren, at the home of Gary and Tammy. Registration with Dani Zlatanski (0877583291), fee BGN 5.

Dear brothers and sisters, This year, God led our general assembly to take the decision to start a new missionary project in support of the church in Haskovo – and the new worker there - Deyan Ivanov. In the past year, God called Deian to leave his job and devote himself to the ministry of this church. After Covid, life in the church had died down, but by God's grace, steps were taken to revive it. Regular Sunday services, prayer group and study are again held. The bell tower, which had given way and became dangerous for passers- by, was demolished. The fence was repaired and the salon is being repaired. The commotion around the church did not go unnoticed even by the neighbors. A neighbor saw the renovation and responded with a donation without even being part of the church. We believe that God is merciful and will work in the hearts of many people in Haskovo. Support Deyan and the church in their witness to the citizens of Haskovo. The desire of our church is to support Deyan's ministry this year with the sum of 3,000 BGN. If God is leading you and you would like to donate for this project, you can transfer the amount to the bank account of the church, explicitly writing - "Haskovo Project" in the reason. Thank you for participating in this project with us. I believe that God will bless and glorify his name in the city of Haskovo.

It is tailored for children from 6 to 12 years of age. It is comprised of many games, singing, and interesting Biblical stories and making crafts. The children’s week is intended for both children from the church and their non-member friends and all other children present in the park at that time who would like to join in.
The program aims are: to introduce the children to Biblical ethics;to improve the relationship among the children and with their parents and the community; to build an improved system of values and ideals; to oppose the indifference, violence and apathy of the younger generation.

Every summer the church organizes a four-day camp open for people of various age – from toddlers to grandparents. We all together enjoy ourselves with games, trips, studying the Bible and fellowship. Participants in the camp are the members of our church, as well as their relatives and friends.
Walking through the center of Plovdiv you may have seen the steeple. You probably have passed by the building many times and wondered if it was open and could you see the inside. You may have wondered how the building came to be built. What exactly is it? This is the Evangelical Congregational Church in Plovdiv and we would like to introduce you to its history, life and activity. Would you invest a few minutes to learn more about one of the most majestic churches of Protestantism in the Balkans?
