On August 2, 2025, the village of Sîngerei Noi in Moldova celebrated the 90th anniversary of the founding of its local Seventh-day Adventist congregation, known as the “mother church” of the region because it gave rise to several other congregations in nearby communities.

The anniversary gathering brought together current members, former pastors, local residents, and guests from across Moldova and abroad. Among the attendees were leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Moldova, including president Andrei Moldovanu and secretary Ruslan Bulgak, as well as pastors who had previously served in the Sîngerei Noi congregation.

The mayor of Sîngerei Noi, Galina Guțu, and former mayor of Căușeni, Valentina, also attended the celebration. A historical video about the church’s development, prepared by Pastor Denis Sîngereanu, was presented as part of the program. Music and messages of congratulations highlighted the event, which concluded with a community meal shared by attendees.

For members and guests, the anniversary served as both a time of remembrance and an opportunity to reflect on the congregation’s ongoing role in village life and in the broader Sîngerei region.
