It's a fact - you reap what you sow. Well, dear reader, what has our church sown this year - or earlier - to reap such an abundant crop of weddings? The first fruits of shared love came during the harsh winter frosts (Sasha and Ira Verhovsky) and the last (Matvay and Lera Tsimbal) during the traditional harvest time. When did the sowing happen? What were the conditions that facilitated this ripening of love? There are a lot of questions, but the result is obvious: seven vows, seven unions, seven pairs joining their lives together.

 

  

The family is God's invention. The most blessed (and also the warmest and strongest) relationship between marriage partners are those that are patterned after the relationship between Jesus and the Church. Successful Christian families make the local church strong and effective, just as failed families do the opposite.

We sincerely wish our young couples twofold strength in service, twofold brokenness in their personal transformation, twofold patience in trials, twofold wisdom in their relationships, and also a limitless quantity of love, which will enable them to overcome the miseries and difficulties of life! May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the all-powerful Jesus Christ be the master of your home!

Here we present you with the opportunity to admire the new families...
