Fourth week of Lent; ROMCA concert; Kulichi decoration
The fifth week of Great Lent is more intense than the previous ones: on Wednesday evening at Matins, the Canon of St. Andrew of Crete is read in full, and on Friday evening we sing the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos.
Next Sunday 29 March, at 12 noon, our church will host a spiritual concert by the Russian Orthodox Male Choir of Australia (ROMCA). Last year, ROMCA performed in Melbourne, and many of our parishioners and choral music lovers travelled to the state capital to hear the magnificent singing of our youth.
Now the Choir will perform here, for the first time in Geelong! This is a great honour for us. Now we don't have to travel anywhere, and we will be able to enjoy the unique opportunity to hear the renowned Russian Orthodox Male Choir of Australia.
On Palm Sunday, 5 April, after the Liturgy, children will decorate Kulichi. If you would like your children (or grandchildren) to participate in this delightful event, please contact matushka Larissa so that no one will be left without their own kulich.
The following services will be held at our church:
Wednesday 25 March at 6:00 PM: Matins with the reading of the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete;
Friday 27 March at 6:00 PM: Matins with the Akathist to the Mother of God;
Saturday 28 March 28th at 8:30 AM: Liturgy – Laudation of the Most Holy Theotokos;
At 6:00 PM: Vigil.
Sunday 29 March at 8:30 AM: Liturgy.
