Metropolitan Alexy of Chelyabinsk and Miass performed an evening service with the reading of an akathist to the Dormition of the Mother of God in the church in the village of Unkurda, Nyazepetrovsky district. The church was built in a residential building and was consecrated in honor of the righteous Simeon of Verkhoturye. The bishop's service was held here for the first time and became a real spiritual joy for the local residents, although there were only a few of them gathered in the church. “The Lord says: “Fear not, little flock” (Luke 12:32). We all strive for the Kingdom of Heaven, and let it be in your heart. Thank you for coming, for praying - for your loved ones, pray for your salvation and for our Fatherland. This prayer is important because God does not leave any word, any of our sighs unanswered. May the Lord protect you. God's help! “- Bishop Alexy wished the parishioners. The village of Unkurda is located at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level in the Ural coniferous forests and is surrounded by mountain ranges. The village arose in 1915 in connection with the construction of the West Ural Railway. CDRO Chelyabinsk Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church.
