On June 13, 2022, the Lutheran Church of Skvoritsy, Leningrad Oblast, held the annual music festival “Sing to God a Hymn of Gladness.” This year, the locations from which musicians came to the festival were Gatchina, Pushkin, Skvoritsy, Yukki, and St. Petersburg. By now, this celebration of music and prayer has become a good tradition in the ELCIR West Ingrian Deanery. Let’s continue to follow St. Paul’s exhortation together: “Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.” (Eph. 5:18, 19, ESV)
