On Saturday 29 October and Sunday 30 October we had services for the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost and in honour of the Prophet Hosea and Monk-Martyr Andrew of Crete.  As Saturday 29 October was – according to the practice of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia – Demetrius Saturday, a day of commemoration of the departed – there was a general panikhida prior to the service on Saturday evening.  On Sunday morning there was a great many people in church, including a number of families visiting our church for the first time.  Following the service a collection was again taken up for the Synodal Liturgical Music Commission.
