"Μαρία δὲ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο, ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς".

Dear Community,

On 12 April 2025, Saturday of St Lazaros, Fr Andreas, Fr David and Fr Nikita celebrated the sacrament of Holy Baptism for our two new members John and Seraphima:

Mr Stewart Grainger is currently a Master’s student in History at Teesside University. He has a long-term interest in the events surrounding the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in July 1974 and decided, for one of his essays, to focus on both the lead-up to the invasion and its aftermath. As part of his research, he sought to speak with people from all sides in the conflict, including from the Greek Cypriot community, in order to learn about their personal memories of that time—how the events affected them, their personal recollections, and whether they had kept any memorabilia from the period.

"O strange Orthodox Church, so poor and weak, staying afloat as if by a miracle in the face of so many trials, tribulations and struggles; a Church of contrasts, both so traditional and so free, so archaic and so alive, so ritualistic and so personally involved, a Church where the priceless pearl of the Gospel is assiduously preserved, sometimes under a layer of dust; a Church which in shadows and silence maintains above all the eternal values of purity, poverty, asceticism, humility and forgiveness; a Church which has often not known how to act, but which can sing of the joy of Pascha like no other.” (Fr Lev Gillet)

On Forgiveness Sunday, 2nd March 2025, we had the joy of welcoming Bishop Raphael to preside at the Divine Liturgy and to celebrate the first anniversary since the reopening of our church.

On Sunday 2nd February, we celebrated the Feast of Christ's Meeting in the Temple, as well as the feast of St Symeon the Elder who carried Christ in his arms.

In January 2025, we celebrated the Great Blessing of Waters as part of the Theophany services.

Christ is born, glorify Him!

On Sunday 1 December 2024, the Divine Liturgy concluded with a memorial service for Mrs Stavroula (Loula) McNicholas who was one the founding members of our church. 

From 10th to 12th November 2024, Highgate House in Northampton welcomed a number of Presvyteres and Diakonisses from across the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain for the first Clergy Wives Retreat.
