Please continue to remember in
your prayers the child of God, Nikita.
Baptised by Fr Gregory on the 28th September, Nikita had
an operation to remove his brain tumours on Tuesday 28th
October. Following the operation, he also needed a blood transfusion.
Nikita is now at home with his parents and seems to be making
good progress. Thank you very much for the generous donations received
so far.
All donations will be used to help cover the cost of
Nikita's
treatment, so please keep them coming in. If you
feel you can help in any way, please send an email to Fr Gregory,
who will provide you with all the necessary details. There will be a Parish Meeting on Sunday 7th December in the Priory Church of St Anthony, Lenton. The meeting will take place after the Divine Liturgy at about 1.30.
The next meeting
of our Parish Study Group will be held in the Parish Rooms at the Church of the Holy
Transfiguration in Carlton, Nottingham between 7.30 and 9
pm on Friday
12th December. This time we will be looking at Baptism.
We have been invited by the Clergy and People of the Antiochian
Orthodox Church in Lincoln to join with them in meeting Metropolitan
John on his first visit to them as Archbishop of Great Britain and
Ireland, and Metropolitan of Western and Central Europe, Patriarchate
of Antioch. Metropolitan John will serve Great Vespers with Artoklasia and Blessing of the Temple at 6pm on Saturday 29th November 2008, in St Matthias Church, Burton Road, Lincoln LN1 3TX. Following this will be a reception with tea and biscuits. There will be no

of St Ephraim the Syrian in Cambridge for a 10 am Divine
Liturgy.
