Theology of the Cross Presentations in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Kremenets

Daniel Deutschlander's book Theology of the Cross was translated into Ukrainian and published as a part of the Wartburg Project. Ukrainian Lutherans express their gratitude to WELS (Rev. President Mark Schroeder) for making this book available for the ULC and many other readers in Ukraine. Our special thanks also to Pastor Neal Schroeder (WELS) who has been very instrumental during all the stages of the Wartburg project, including presentations the book to Ukrainian readers. Presentations of the book in connection with evangelism took place in three ULC congregations:

U.S. Children for Ukrainian Children

As we continue to celebrate Christmas in Ukraine a very nice Christmas gift has arrived to the Ukrainian Lutheran Church. It was mailed from the students of the second grade of St. Jacobi Lutheran School in Greenfield in Wisconsin (Teacher - Mrs. Kolosovski). The package included hand-made Christmas gifts for Ukrainian children, a very nice greeting, calendars for 2012 and a beautiful picture of U.S. kids with their teacher. Both Lutheran kids in Ukraine and their parents are grateful for such gifts and for such brothers and sisters in faith!

New Citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven

Myrskykh Kostantyn was born of water and the Spirit on January 15, 2012 in the Resurrection Lutheran Church in Kyiv. The Holy Sacrament of Baptism was administered by Rev. Neal Schroeder, Pastor of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. After Baptism sincere prayer of the congregation was raised to the Lord of the Church requesting many happy and blessed years for this new member of the Church. We add our prayers, too!
