On Saturday 5 March and Sunday 6 March we had services for the Sunday of the Last Judgment.  In his sermon at Divine Liturgy on Sunday the parish rector noted the care with which people prepare for earthly judgments – obtaining references and enrolling in educational programmes, for example  – and emphasised the need to prepare all the more diligently for the Last Judgement.   Announcements were made concerning services during the First Week of Great Lent, a special confession service for children, and a collection to benefit the Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, New York.  Following the service our parishioners and friends enjoyed pancakes prepared by the Ladies’ Auxiliary.
