Following her very successful exhibition, of art by her students and herself, at Girne Halk Kütüphane (Kyrenia Public Library) back in June, Elina Petrosian has very kindly donated this beautiful painting to St Andrew’s.

Thank you, Elina!

On Sunday 15th August Ariele’s was baptised into the Church at St Andrew’s, Kyrenia.

It was a wonderful and joyous occasion for everyone and a pleasure to welcome Ariele, her family and friends to our church.

We wish her every Blessing on her journey through life. 

Many congratulations to Dr Nwoye Kabilsen – more often known to us by his middle name ‘Sunday’ – our Hall Manager and Sidesperson.

Over the summer, Sunday was awarded his PhD in Applied Psychology.

The topic of his thesis was
‘Exposure to Trauma, Hopelessness, Gender as Predictors of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression amongst Veterans in South-East region of Nigeria.’

We warmly wish Sunday every success in his future career.

Our warmest congratulations to Werner and Geraldine Fayers on their 60th Wedding Anniversary!
These two absolute gems are living proof that diamonds really are forever.
Geraldine and Werner have contributed so much to the life of our church over the years – and continue to do so to this day. 
Our love and very best wishes to them both.

Everyone is most welcome to the Baptism of 4 year old Ariele at 12 noon this Sunday, following our Service.
Please stay, if you can, and help us welcome little Ariele into the Church.

On Tuesday 27th August, St Andrea’s hosted the Summer School. A service was lead by Fr Nael Abu Rahmoun, Vicar of Nazareth. Revd Anne Futcher (pictured here with Fr George Vidiakin) then gave a presentation on the Social Concern work of the Diocese. This was followed by lunch and a chance to explore Kyrenia.
