Kanisa la Kiinjili la Kilutheri Tanzania (KKKT) litaungana na makanisa mengine duniani kuadhimisha “Miaka 500 ya Matengenezo ya Kanisa” ambayo yatakayofanyika mwezi Oktoba mwaka huu.

Shughuli zinazotarajiwa kufanywa na Sharika, Dayosisi na Kanisa kwa ujumla ni pamoja na kongamano, kutoa maandiko maalumu, kupanda miti, ibada, tamasha la uimbaji, kutoa huduma za kijamii kama vile kutembelea wagonjwa, usafi wa mazingira na kuchangia damu.

Upandaji wa miti ni tukio linalofanywa kama ishara na makanisa ili kuonesha kuenea na jinsi dunia nzima ilivyoguswa na matengenezo yaliyoanzia Ujerumani na kuchochea moto wa Injili ulioweza kuenea dunia nzima.

Alisema KKKT imeandaa wimbo maalumu utakaoimbwa na kwaya katika juma la matengenezo katika sharika zote na vituo vyake.

Katika ngazi ya Kanisa, kitaifa Katibu Mkuu alisema matukio mbalimbali yatafanyikia kwa siku tatu Chuo Kikuu cha Tumaini Makumira ambapo watu wapatao 1,000 wanatarajiwa kuhudhuria kuwakilisha Dayosisi, maeneo ya misioni, vituo vya Kanisa.
