In South Korea, 8th May is Parents Day (어버이날)—a meaningful time to thank and honour our parents and elders for their lifelong love and sacrifice. Shincheonji Church of Jesus yearly marks the occasion in various ways, such as providing beauty services for seniors, preparing meals for veterans, or offering heartfelt letters from children.
This year, the Gimhae Church (Andrew Tribe) held a thanksgiving event for Parents' Day on 3rd May, inviting about 500 local elderly people under the theme "A Warmer Day Because We Are Together."
The event comprised of a diverse range of performances, beginning with lively student and youth cheer teams, followed by serene choral praise, gayageum (a traditional, plucked zither with 12 strings) performances and a musical that combined storytelling with music.
Moreover, meals were provided for the seniors at the event venue, facilitating natural conversation between participants.
A senior attendee at the event expressed their heartfelt appreciation and remarked that the standout experience was “witnessing generations coming together.”
Meanwhile, in addition to social contribution events, the Andrew Tribe continues to engage with local communities through volunteer service and educational events. Activities are held primarily in Busan, with additional activities taking place in Ulsan, Changwon, Jinju, Gimhae, and Jeju.
