Gird up your Brooms

As soon as you read this, please volunteer yourself for cleaning duties at Dresden before
the grand re-opening of the church on the first weekend in June.
There is a lot to do from mopping to dusting and polishing as well as pew hauling for the fit.
Please do not leave it to the usual victims to carry out all the work.
Last time many people answered the call and made relatively light work of the whole
operation.

Visit of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God – Friday 6th June

We are invited again this year to join with the parish of Saint Elisabeth the New Martyr (ROCOR) in Wallasey as the miraculous icon tours the UK. 
I have written at length about this icon in past newsletters so if you want to read more, there are archives on our website and much other information through the web. 
Services will begin at approximately 6pm and the icon will leave the church promptly at 8pm. 
Directions to the church are on the Saint  Elisabeth’s website. 

Talking of Nuns... 
A party of nuns from Minsk in Belarus will be joining us on Wednesday 4th June and will be 
displaying their handicrafts at Dresden. I am hoping Fr Samuel will have more information
beforehand to indicate how long they are staying and if those of us who keep office hours
will be able to swell their pockets (if nuns have pockets) by buying something that evening.
