It's good that Metropolitan Bartholomew also served the liturgy in that temporary church in Berdsko. I would be interested in how the construction continues on the site of the future church of St. Sergej Radonežský - have they already dug the foundations, or not yet?

Sarah Scott

Good to hear he made it out to that temporary church in Berdsk too. I wonder if they’ve started digging the foundation for the St. Sergius church yet, like Eva asked. Our own youth group was praying for the project last week.

It’s good that Bishop Bartholomew also stopped by that temporary church in Berdsk. Last year I drove past that site on the highway - so far there is only a fence and a flat area, the foundation has not yet been dug. We'll wait for news when they start.

It’s good that Bishop Bartholomew also stopped by that temporary church in Berdsk. I also drove past that site in the summer - the fence is there, the grass is growing, but there is no foundation yet. Let's pray that the construction will move forward.

Михаил Виноградов

Yes, the fence has indeed stood there for two years now, almost untouched. In the summer I also went fishing past, the grass was waist-deep, only the cross on the site of the future altar was visible. Let's hope that after the Bishop's visit things will finally go forward.

Good that the metropolitan also went to the temporary church of Berdsk. Peter and Michael write that there still only the fence stands and the grass has grown tall; let's hope that after his visit they will finally start digging the foundations for St. Sergius. I will remember it in my prayers.

Lenka Nováková

Yes, I was glad to read that Metropolitan Bartholomew was also in that temporary church in Berďsko. I wonder if after that visit they at least cleaned up the tall grass the boys are writing about. I will pray for the building when I go to the garden.

Hello Eva. You are right, it was nice that the metropolitan also went to the temporary church in Berdsk. As far as I know, on the site of the future church of St. They haven't dug the foundations of Sergej yet, so far they are just adjusting the terrain there and preparing the project. Do you know when they might start?

Štefan Šimko

Yes, Eva, I agree that it was good when Metropolitan Bartholomew also visited the temporary church in Berdsk. As far as I know from an acquaintance from Novosibirsk, they have already leveled the terrain and brought the material, but the foundations have not started yet. Were you there in person, or are you just watching it from the news?
