By far the most important way you can support our church is through prayer: prayer for our Bishop, his Grace Bishop Irenei; prayer for our clergy – Priest Antony, Priest Mark, Deacon Andrew; for our choir mistress Matushka Elizabeth and choir members; for our secretary & treasurer, Daniel; for our trustees, Deacon Andrew, Priest Mark, and Servers Nicholas and Daniel and for all the parishioners of our community.

If you feel moved, the church would also appreciate donations of the following items for the divine services:

1. White Flour for making prosphora. Please make sure that the flour is of the highest quality and 100% wheat flour and Very Strong. We are currently using Tesco’s Finest Very Strong White Bread Flour.
2. Sweet Red Communion Wine. We currently use Mavrodaphne of Patras which is available in most supermarkets.

The parish also has a new “wish list” where we have listed a range of liturgical items that we are in need of and will serve to greatly enhance the beauty of our worship. Perhaps you would like to gift something to the church in memory of a departed relative or in gratitude for a blessing you have received? If you would like to purchase something, please contact Fr Mark.
