On Sunday 29th November at 3.00 p.m., our new church building - for which the documents securing its purchase were signed only the Friday before - was blessed by Father Stephen, with many parishioners braving the cold (inside the church as well as outside!) to attend this important moment in our parish life.

Father Stephen reminded those who had gathered that, as we work together to create a new church building for our parish, it is also important that we build up the spiritual life of our church community – the Body of Christ -  through the love we show for one another.

Bishop Elisey of Sourozh will bless the beginning of the building work on 10th January 2010.
