On Saturday 28 September and Sunday 29 September we had services for the Afterfeast of the Exaltation of the Cross and in honour of the Great-Martyr Euphemia  the All-Praised of Chalcedon and Martyr Ludmilla, Princess of the Czechs.  As is customary, the Holy Cross remained in the centre of the church for veneration during these services.  Receiving Holy Communion for the first time was the infant Sophia Sidorkina, baptised in our church in August.  After Divine Liturgy, many years was sung for our Ludmilla Roubanoff, a chorister and member of our parish from the earliest days.
