StMary&StShenouda

An uplifting #MidnightPraise #Tasbeha Service with our @CopticDiocese English Hymnology Group last night at smass.co.uk, followed by Liturgy this morning and the Consecration of a new Cantor for the parish. Always a blessing to be with this vibrant, loving community!

Some more photos from the Feast of the Apostles Liturgy yesterday in our beautiful #StGeorge @CopticCathedral, during which we ordained Fr Antony for @StMarksLondon and Fr Michael for @StMaryStGeorge1. Praying every blessing on them, their families and their parish communities.

On the Feast of the glorious #Ascension we give thanks to and for our Lord Who, as the #IncarnateWord chose to live in our material world among and as one of us, ascended the heavens to prepare a place for us, and lift us up, with Him, to His eternal Kingdom and everlasting life.

Asking our @CopticDiocese, and anyone at all wishing, to join together at 21:00 (9pm) GMT, or whenever suits you, to pray for those affected by #coronavirus: those vulnerable, at risk, anxious or struggling, and for frontline and support healthcare professionals and policy-makers

A lovely day at @SMASSUK started with the Baptism of Baby Ella, followed by #Liturgy, brunch with the wonderful #StShenouda community, then a youth discussion preparing for #Lent, and the need for #LentBuddies to support and hold each other accountable along the #LentJourney2020.

While many choose to have no religion many actively choose to have and observe one, so we must respect the religious symbols of all without causing insult or pain in the name of entertainment I would support this petition whichever religion it represented change.org/p/netflix-especia…

God is constant, faithful and loving; He desires only what is best for us, remaining true to all He promises...but will not force it upon us

What is life without love of self, others and God...and more importantly, God's love for us, through which He has both created and saves us?
