No services on 2 and 3 May; Renovation of toilets
We have a rather inelegant but very necessary major project ahead: renovating our toilets, including converting one to wheelchair access.
Due to the high cost of such work, all proceeds from fundraisers this year are going toward this important project. We have already received one grant and one significant donation, and we are asking kind people, worshippers, and pilgrims to donate to this worthy cause.
On Saturday 2 May, and Sunday 3 May, our parish brethren, under the guidance of the churchwarden, will carry out the first part of the work, which we can do ourselves: demolishing the first section of the restroom.
Therefore, there will be no services in our church on the weekend 2nd and 3rd of May, nor will there be classes in the Russian school.
We ask everyone to attend the Liturgy on Sunday 3rd May, at St. Nicholas Church of the Serbian Church on Ballarat Road. The service begins at 10:00 a.m.
The catechism class with Father Yaroslav on Wednesday 29 April, has been cancelled.
The next service in our church will be:
Sunday, May 10th, at 8:30 a.m.: Liturgy.
