UPCOMING SERVICES, FEASTS & FASTS
WEEKLY:
VESPERS: Saturdays, 17.30 (5.30 p.m.)
DIVINE LITURGY: Sundays, 10.30 a.m.
Confession
A good time for Confession is on Saturday evening after Vespers. If, however, you need confession on a Sunday, try to be in church by 10.00 a.m so that the Divine Liturgy does not start late. NOTE: There is no automatic requirement to confess each time before you receive communion, especially if you communicate frequently. Confession is medicine for the soul, but is separate Mystery from the Eucharist.
Cleaning
We are still in need of regular cleaning help! If you can help, please see Lisa or contact president@bristol-orthodox-church.co.uk
Food Bank
DON’T FORGET THE NEEDS OF OTHERS who do not have enough! Bring contributions please for the box in church.
Church Building
Maintaining a large and aging building like our church is costly. But we have been given it as stewards and we need to hand it on to future generations.
Currently, we await a final assessment and quotes for the roof work, but Initial estimates suggest this is going to be expensive! PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY!
THANK YOU for your generous donations. Without this, we would not have a space to worship in. We are extremely blessed to have our own space that does not need to be shared with other users. If we look after it, the building will be sure to last a few more hundred years and serve our community for many generations to come.
WE ARE CURRENTLY COLLECTING FUNDS to modernize the kitchenette in church to improve our ability to offer hospitality.
