What’s On- Winter 2016-17

nativity_season_banner.jpgIt’s the Nativity Fast, and one way the Fellowship gets ready for the feast is the now regular concert by the Mosaic Choir. This year we visit the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St Andrew in Kentish Town, London, NW1 9QA on Friday 16 December at 7:30pm. Come along and celebrate Christmas in many different traditions, with carols from across Europe and beyond: Greece, Romania, Serbia, Poland, Canada and the United Kingdom! Free entry with a retiring collection. You can tell us that you’re coming , and download it to your calendar with our Facebook Event

And St Andrew blesses us again in January, with the Fellowship’s first visit to Scotland for the annual Study Weekend on Holiness in the Bible, hosted by the  Orthodox Church  of St Andrew. It’s just £40 (£20 for students), excluding accommodation and travel, but including meals and a bus tour of the city. There will also be an opportunity to venerate the relics of St Andrew. Find this event on Facebook. 

Apply for the Study Weekend. 

So, in this time when commercialisation of Christmas is everywhere, make time for two events for your spiritual health! Wishing you a blessed fast and a joyful feast!

The OFSJB Youth Festival is an annual event organised by the Orthodox Youth Fellowship for young people (aged 18-35-ish) from various Orthodox jurisdictions in the UK, but open to visitors from around the world. It aims to provide greater insight into aspects of the Church and our life in Christ through talks and discussions, an experience of unity and prayer as well as creating a relaxed and fun environment within a homely hostel and its surrounding hills and rivers. This year’s theme is vocations and spiritual guidance and so we will have talks and other activities aimed at helping us all find our way in Christ.​

The Festival program will include discussion groups, prayers and services, a Liturgy on the Sunday, workshops, games, music and other entertainment, walks and sharing of information on various Orthodox events and organisations in the UK and abroad. One evening will feature a ‘Hot Potato Session’, which is a chance to ask more difficult questions anonymously in a confidential and friendly environment to be answered by the clergy and speakers in attendance.

Full details, further information, contact and inquiries can be made on our youth pages www.orthodoxyouth.co.uk
