It is with enormous sadness that we report the death on Thursday of David Birt, beloved husband of Sally.

We pray for David, for Sally and for their children Susannah, Stephen, Simon and Charles.

David’s funeral will take place at Green Hill Cemetery on Tuesday 19th May at 10.30 am.

Many at St Andrew’s will be sad to hear of the death of Jewel Pearce this morning.

Jewel was a faithful member of St Andrew’s and was Hall Manager for a time. She lived in Cyprus with her husband, John, who is buried at Green Hill.

Some years after John died, Jewel returned to England to a nursing home in Milton Keynes, close to one of her daughters. Jewel also has a daughter in New Zealand.

We pray for Jewel, give thanks for her life, and hold her family in our thoughts and our prayers.

It was a joy to have Henry Ikediego with us on Sunday, acting as Deacon.

Bishop Sean asks us to hold Henry in our prayers, as he prepares for his ordination to the diaconate, at 4pm on 6 June 2026 at St Mark Famagusta, where he will also serve.

In the meantime, Henry will be with us again at St Andrew’s on May 17th.

Henry has served St Mark’s in Famagusta – the only other Anglican Church in North Cyprus – for many years and is greatly loved and appreciated by the largely student congregation there. Henry O. Ikediego

‘Earl would have loved this!’ – the unanimous verdict on Saturday night’s memorial concert.

The church was full, the musicians outstanding and the atmosphere one of joy tinged with sadness, full of love and deep appreciation.

Over Easter & Music Week we are raffling this lovely hamper of North Cyprus produce – olive oil, carob syrup, coffee, helva, olives and walnut sweet – a gift from Evkaf Cyprus.

Tickets will be on sale during refreshments after the Easter Service, at Wednesday’s Coffee Concert, at Saturday’s Memorial Concert and after the Festal Eucharist on 12th April, when the raffle will be drawn.

Tickets are 50 TL / 5 for 200 TL / 10 for 300TL / 20 for 500 TL / 30 for 600 TL and all proceeds will go to Tulips/Help Those With Cancer Association. Please support the vital work of this charity.

Given the unpredictable weather just now, it has been decided not to go ahead with Sunday’s outdoor Sunrise Service.

We look forward to seeing everyone in church at 10.30 for the main Easter Service.

Everyone is most welcome to our Easter Service
