Thanks for posting this. Nice to see the Gospel read in Chuvash — that must mean a lot to the local families. Congrats to the Khapkovs and Merlushkin on the medals; sounds like they put in real work on that church.

The Chuvash Gospel reading really stands out—good to see the local folks hearing it in their own tongue like that. Congrats to the Khapkov family and Merlushkin on the medals; building and fixing up a church takes years of steady work. I wonder if they’ll have any photos of the new iconostasis up soon.

The Chuvash Gospel reading is a nice touch—my nursing shift buddy from those parts always says it hits different when you hear the words in your own language. Glad the Khapkovs and Merlushkin got recognized; building that church sounds like it took real steady effort from a lot of hands. I wonder if they’ll post any pictures of the new iconostasis.
