On May 24, 2025, Affiliate Professor Eugene Lemcio gave the main address during the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Ivan Ohienko Ukrainian Saturday School in Renton. The School was named after the renowned 20th century scholar who had headed the team that translated the Bible into modern Ukrainian for the British and Foreign Bible Society. He and Gene's late Pastor, the Rev. Dr. Lev Zhabko-Potapovych, directed the final editorial process. The "Ohienko Bible" of 1962 succeeded the "Kulish Translation" of 1907—the first to make available both Testaments in Ukrainian.
