Background Information:
Since 1989, when the communist regime in former Czechoslovakia
collapsed, the Dunajsko nitriansky district which consist of 35
church congregations considers it as a priority to reconstruct and
construct new church buildings. Congregation in Komárno
- her daughter congregation in Iža has no building, where people,
children and youth would enjoy
Christian fellowship. The Iža Lutherans are
Slovak repatriates (from Hungary, where they had been living for
250 years as a Slovak farmers), who live in Iža since 1947. During the
communist hardship it was rejected them to built their own
church center to develop their own community life.
The construction of the
new church center building is
located in
a middle of village in Iža near by
school, catholic church and village
council. Iža is a suburb village (about 1 800 inhabitants ~140 Lutherans)
close to Komárno - 6 km.
Until this time (50 years) Lutheran Christians
did not have own place
where they may celebrate Sunday worship and develop Christian life.
Therefore,
in 1996 we organized a
first village meeting with church representatives and architects to
put together ideas, proposals for shape of the new church. The church
center building should not be bigger than for 30-50 people. In this
meeting was also announced a collections for new church center.
Aim of the
Project: To organize worships, Christian
occasional celebrations, youth camps, training seminars for youth and
Sunday school leaders.
To provide spiritual care and counseling to youth, families with
children
To
strengthen the family life of Christians and their stewardship as they
assume responsibility for their church and society.
