Prayer Request

We have very snowy and frosty winter (I think they call it 'global warming').  It means that in many parts of our country some roads are totally closed and some are very difficult to drive on because of  snowdrifts.  There have been a few days of rather calm weather in a row but today it is snowing again.  Since our pastors believe they should deliver food of the Holy Gospel to their sheep every Lord's Day despite of any weather conditions, could you pray about their safe travels in Ukraine tomorrow, please? A picture is from our pastor from Malyn and Radomyshl, Rev. Dmytro Didkivskiy.  He wrote if not police patroling the area he and a dozen of other drivers would have to spend a day or so in snowdrifts and on a road with fallen trees.  Thank you for your prayers and have a blessed day of the Lord tomorrow!

A Very Interesting Article from the BBC 4

I have found its Ukrainian version on our deacon's blog and then I have found its original on the BBC 4 web-site. If you are a Lutheran, you will not regret reading it.  The title of the article is: The eurozone's religious faultline.  To read it click the following link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18789154

Christ Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed!

Христос воскрес!  Воістину воскрес!

Christ Is Risen!  He Is Risen Indeed!

Dear visitors of the Ukrainian Lutheran Weekly!

Please receive most sincere greetings from the Ukrainian Lutheran Church on these very light days of Easter when we celebrate the glorious Resurrection of Jesus Christ, our dear crucified Savior. By His blood He washed away all our sins and by His death on the cross He conquered our death and scattered all the dark accusations of the devil.  Let us rejoice in Jesus’ Resurrection and remembering His empty tomb, in expectation of His glorious return and our own resurrection, let us proclaim everywhere this wonderful fact: Christ Is Risen!  He Is Risen Indeed! Христос воскрес!  Воістину воскрес!

In Christ, our Risen Lord and Savior,

Rev. Dr. Vyacheslav Horpynchuk,

Bishop, Ukranian Lutheran Church
