Bishop Michael of Lutsk and Volyn consecrated the newly built church in honor of the holy apostle and evangelist John the Theologian in the village of Nevir of the Lyubeshiv deanery. Local Orthodox believers, who for more than 60 years had no church of their own, will finally pray in their own sanctuary. On this day, almost all the residents of the picturesque Polissian village, located near Bile Lake, not far from the border with Belarus, came to the new church, which they built in only two years. Vladyka Michael, concelebrated by the clergy of the Holy Trinity Cathedral and the Lyubeshiv deanery, performed the rite of consecration and the Divine Liturgy. After the Divine Service and the traditional procession around the church, he delivered an instructive word about the piety of a Christian in particular and of the church community in general. He emphasized the importance of prayerful service in the church in the matter of saving the Christian soul. Also, the bishop congratulated on the significant event the Lyubeshiv dean, priest Yurii Ustymchuk, the rector of the church, priest Mykola Koroliuk, and all the believers of the village of Nevir, and awarded certificates of blessing to those who zealously contributed to the construction of the church. It is worthy of wonder that the Orthodox believers of a village forgotten by the world managed to build a small church in two years without the support of either the village or the district authorities. Church elder Mykola Kukharyk explains such cohesion by the people's great desire to unite around their church. The need for a village church is felt especially acutely by the elderly, who still remember the lost church during the Second World War. The younger generation, which, according to the elder, grew up "without God," watched with fear and a certain lack of understanding as the church was being built. Work with children and youth is perhaps the most important task of the church rector and the parish community.
