Mettingham Patronal Festival

21/10/2009


The Parish of the Mother of God; the Joy of All Who Sorrow is to celebrate its patronal festival on Friday the 6th of November, being the 24th of October in the Church calendar and the feast of the Icon of the Joy of All Who Sorrow.  This will be the first patronal festival since the church was built earlier this year, and is an important time in the life of the parish.

The Divine Liturgy will be served at 10 o' clock, allowing for enough time for many people to travel to the church.  All are welcome to the services and to the buffet lunch that will be served afterwards.  Fr Peter Baulk from the cathedral in Chiswick will join the parish for their celebrations.

As this is a new parish, any gifts of icons, incense, or other church furnishings would be very welcome indeed.  Please support them in whatever way you can.
