A very happy and blessed Eid to all our Muslim friends and neighbours – and to Muslims everywhere.
Our new bishop, The Rt Revd Sean Semple, is to be enthroned in his cathedral in Lefkosa/Nicosia on Saturday 22 June.
In recognition that many from the TRNC may not be able to attend, he himself therefore intends to come to St Andrew’s on Sunday 23 June.
We are honoured that this will be his first official engagement here, and are planning a special welcome service, to be followed by a celebratory lunch together.
A reminder that our ACM is this Sunday 7th April at 12 noon, in the hall.
The meeting should finish by 1.15
All are welcome to attend.
Anyone on the Electoral Roll may also vote.
It was wonderful to welcome so many people, from so many places, to our joint Easter Communion Service with the Norwegian Church Abroad.
Pastor Jon Albert Ihlebaek’s very powerful and moving sermon gave us much to think about.
Many thanks to The Norwegian Church Abroad for welcoming us to their fabulous Nordic Easter lunch today. We loved the food – thank you, Birgitta! – the stories, the singing and being in such wonderful company.
We look forward to our sunrise service early tomorrow, followed by our joint Easter Communion Service at 10.30, when Pastor Jon Albert Ihiebaek will preach.
Lent lunch
A very big THANK YOU to everyone who took part in our Lent Lunches. The €400 raised for the Ras Morbat Clinic in Yemen was handed over to the Diocese yesterday and was very gratefully received.
The Clinic staff rely on donations made through our Diocese to continue their essential work at this difficult time.
