As many of you will know already, Saint Theodore’s mission, Grimsby, now has a new venue for our Sunday (and feast day) services. Earlier last month, we moved from our Saturday services at Old Clee and Christ Church in Cleethorpes, to Sunday services at Saint Mary’s on Sea RC church in Grimsby.

Much Needed

This is a very positive and much-needed development for Saint Theodore's mission parish.

As much as we benefitted immensely from being able to have services at Old Clee and Christ Church on Saturdays, Sunday services are essential for Orthodox Christians in order to experience---to be immersed in---the theology expressed in the Scriptural readings, hymns, prayers, and canons of the Sunday services of the Orthodox Christian Church.

So, thanks to Father Robbie, the parish priest at Saint Mary's on Sea, and his parishioners, we can now settle into a pattern of regular Sunday worship.

Glory to God!

Gratitude

I would like to express my thanks to Father Robbie and all the parishioners at Saint Mary's---not only for allowing us to have our services at their church, but also for the warmth of the welcome they have extended to us, and the patience and good humour they have demonstrated.

Beneficial for Me

Father Robbie has also allowed us to store at Saint Mary's many of the items we require for our services.

This is a great relief, as health issues have made transporting items increasingly difficult.

Baptisms

Please keep all of our catechumens in your prayers:

• Cuthbert
• Barry
• Nicholas
• Joshua
• Thomas
• Charlie
• Shane

Nicholas, Thomas, Charlie, and Shane will be received by baptism and chrismation on 11th April.

Faith & Perseverance

They are committed to attending services and learning the faith, showing patience despite limited instruction due to health constraints.

Commitment to Faith & Repentance

To become Orthodox is to find life's meaning in Christ and His Gospel.

Christ & His Church

They have found Christ within the Orthodox Church and are called to repentance and transformation.

New Life in the Kingdom of God

Orthodox Christianity is participation in Divine Life, expressed through love, mercy, and holiness.

In Christ

Through Baptism, Chrismation, and Holy Communion, they will receive new life in Christ.

No Longer I

"I have been crucified with Christ..." (Gal. 2:20)

Holy Week Services

Services will be held on Palm Sunday, Great and Holy Friday, and Pascha.
