St Andrew’s Church this week responded to a request from UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, for essential school equipment for 7 children living in the northern part of Cyprus, who have refugee backgrounds and whose families are unable to purchase the stationery supplies their children need for the start of the school year.
The stationery will be handed over on Saturday, in time to be distributed to the children before the academic year begins on Monday.
If you would like to contribute to the cost of these items, all donations will be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Deborah Moorgas, the priest at St Barnabas, Limassol has written to thank the congregation of St Andrew’s for the money raised for victims of the wildfires in July and explain how the money was distributed.

Please join us at 10.30 in St Andrew’s Church, Kyrenia.
All donations (dry food only please) for Tulips/Help Those With Cancer Association are most welcome.

May God the Father, by whose love Christ raised from the dead, open to you who believe the gates of everlasting life.

A special service was held at St Andrew’s this morning in memory of Andy Fraser-Smith.

We remembered the light that Andy brought to us all and prayed especially for Nicola, Toby and Zak , for Andy’s father and brother and for Andy and Nicola’s wider families.

We place these prayers into the hands of our living Father who provides us with every gift and holds us in life and death. Amen.

The service is here: Memorial Service for Andy 31.8.25

John and Jenny WG were invited to share the ‘interview spot’ at last Sunday’s community praise service at Christ Church, Cheltenham.

They can be seen in conversation with Vicar Simon (about 24 minutes into the service), talking to the congregation about tbeir time at St Andrew’s Kyrenia and in the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. Watch here:
