Thanks for the report. It's nice to read that Father Georgy Sevryuk received the cross with decorations - he really does a lot for the small community in Laikowshchina. The sermon by Proto-Priest Georgij Mucha also made me curious about what he was talking about.

I’m glad for Father Georgy Sevryuk, he deserved a cross with decorations - indeed, he alone pulls this entire small community in Laikovshchyna. The sermon of Archpriest George Mucha would also be interesting to read if the text suddenly appears. Thanks for the detailed report.

I’m happy for Father Georgy Sevryuk, it’s been seen for a long time how he alone manages the parish in Laikovshchyna. I wonder what exactly Archpriest Georgy Mukha spoke about in his sermon after communion? Thanks for the report.

Yes, Father George has indeed been alone in the parish for several years now, and you can see how the church is holding up. And the sermon of Archpriest Georgy Mukha was simple and to the point - about how patience and mutual support are important in family life, like Peter and Fevronia. Do you often go to Laikovshchina yourself?
