Today was the first truly scorching Sunday of the year, and by the mercy of God, we were ready for it!

A pleasant coolness remained inside the church, even though the air-conditioning system, for which we had been raising funds over the past two years, was not even running at full capacity. Exactly as it should be: without stuffiness or exhausting heat, allowing people to pray peacefully and participate in the divine services.

Our deepest gratitude and heartfelt bows first and foremost to our permanent benefactors:

β€” Igor and Elena.

And, of course, sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to this important cause, whether through large or small donations, prayers, support, or kind words. Thanks to you, the church is becoming more comfortable, welcoming, and hospitable for all who enter it.

Let us continue to pray unceasingly in our church for the health and salvation of the servants of God:

β€” Archpriest Michael
β€” Natalia
β€” Anna-Maria
β€” John
β€” Anna
β€” Melania
β€” Nadezhda
β€” Natalia
β€” Julia
β€” Marat
β€” Anastasia
