During the bishop’s visitation of the ELCIR Southern Deanery, Denis Pukhovski, a member of the Lutheran religious group in Sochi, was confirmed at a worship service at the Lutheran Church of Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai. Many blessings to Denis as he follows Jesus Christ and a successful completion of the renovation to the church in Novorossiysk!“‘For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.’ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’” (Acts 2:39-40, ESV)
