Brother Serhiy Nikolayenko Called to His Heavenly Home

On September 28th Serhiy Nikolayenko, ULC Synodical Council member and a former President of the Council of the Resurrection Lutheran Church has been called to his heavenly home.  Brother Serhiy was 73 years old.  He has been a good and faithful friend, advisor and brother to many of us in the Ukrainian Lutheran Church. Our sorrow is sweetened, however by sure, comforting and truthful words of the Lord Jesus Christ, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John 11:25).  We will see Brother Serhiy alive again in the time of resurrection. Please keep in your prayers Brother Seriy's closest family and especially his wife, Zoya. May the Lord, kind and  graceful strengthen us with His Word and Sacrament!
