“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Is. 9:6, ESV)

 

Right Reverend Bishop,

 

I cordially wish you a joyful Feast of the Nativity of Christ and a Happy New Year in 2023! May the blessing of the Divine Child Christ and the gracious gifts of the Holy Spirit strengthen you in your episcopal ministry! May God help you in all your work as you lead The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria!

 

Sincerely,
