Readers will be pleased to learn of plans that are underway for the building of a new church in Mettingham. The Church of the "Joy of All Who Sorrow" is to be built in the grounds of the White House in Mettingham, which many will recognise as the address of the St George Orthodox Information Service. The church will serve the Waveney Valley and surrounding areas.
The Joy of All Who Sorrow is a title of the Mother of God, and is used of a number of icons depicting her as the intercessor for those in various states of misfortune. May her prayers invoke the mercy of God on this effort as the Orthodox people in the Waveney Valley area seek to work out their salvation and spread the good news of Orthodoxy.
Further details are available from Father Deacon Andrew Bond at DeaconAndrew@rocor.org.uk.
