In Nikopol, during the sermon in the church, there was a shelling (video)

In the morning of January 29, the enemy shelled Nikopol with anti-aircraft guns. That morning, several private enterprises, a service station, a store, a parking lot, an educational institution, and a residential building were hit. As it turned out, it “flew” near the church during the morning sermon. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

A video fragment of the sermon and shelling appeared on the social network. An ordinary Sunday turned into a real horror for the parishioners. At some point, people panicked, but their pastor kept peace and calm, offering to turn to God in prayer. This was reported by the Informant with reference to the author of the post on Facebook Serhii Sologub.

The man writes that there was an explosion near the church that day. But the equanimity of Pastor Ivan Bokoch is simply inspiring!

The video shows a fragment of today Sunday church meeting in Nikopol from January 29, 2023. Protect Ukraine, Lord, and bring Your peace through the Church to where people need it! - writes Serhii.

In the comments under the post, peoples opinions were divided. Someone admires the balance of the pastor.

Others believe that he should have let the people go to shelter, which they had the right to do, and instead suggested that they not run away, but pray.

It should be noted that the shelling that day happened suddenly. The siren was turned on later. Therefore, the parishioners calmly came to the church to pray for Ukraine.
