OUR TREE OF LIFE AND HOPE

 

As we follow in the footsteps of Our Saviour Jesus Christ on his journey to the Cross, unlike those who did so more than two thousand years ago we do so knowing of His Glorious Resurrection. Throughout the year we remember our brothers and sisters of every nation who also suffer hardship and loss at the hands of others. Help us to support them by donating an egg – symbol of birth, life and hope – to our Easter tree.

You can speak to our Treasurer, Nelly, in church or donate on our website – www.anglicanchurchathens.gr – via e-banking or Paypal. Make sure to include your name, email address and the description “TREE”. If you wish to remain anonymous, your name and “TREE ANON”.

Join us in love and thanksgiving as we prepare to welcome the resurrected Lord into our lives.

Martha Von Theo Live at St Paul’s

Marva Von Theo

Come join us for an immersive, atmospheric, almost ritualistic evening.
On Sat 18 March, we will make a one-off performance of our project “Atmospheres” along with Emi Path’s new album presentation. We will perform selected songs from our discography, as well as new, unreleased songs, orchestrated exclusively for Anglican Church Athens Greece
Ethereal synths, dreamy, cinematic soundscapes will flow reverently throughout the space of the church and will be contrasted with our eerily dark electronic sounds, in a poetic confrontation between light and darkness, love and death.💀🖤
🎫 Tickets are available on viva[.]gr. Limited seats.

Bishop’s Lent Appeal 2023

Dicoese in. Europe

16 February 2023

To the Clergy and People of the Diocese in Europe

Very soon we will embark on our Lenten journey once again. These are extraordinary times, with war continuing in Ukraine (the focus of our 2022 Appeal), and with unprecedented suffering in South East Türkiye and North West Syria as a result of recent earthquakes. The people of our diocese have been generous in responding to these huge needs, and certainly the people of Ukraine and Türkiye/Syria are very much in our prayers.

It has been the tradition for the Bishop’s Lent Appeal to focus on a particular need within our diocesan family. We have pockets within the diocese where the reality is much more like the developing world than what is experienced in the comparatively rich north. One such area of the diocese is Morocco.

Many have now settled in the region of the capital, Rabat, where we have not had a permanent Church presence. Thanks to the vision of past chaplains in Casablanca and the dedication of a core of supporters in Rabat, a new congregation is being built up. This year’s Bishop’s Lent Appeal is to support this congregation in the next crucial phase of its development.

Archdeacon David Waller outlines below more details of this project:

Easter Season at St Paul’s

 

After no services for two years it was a joy to be able to hold our Easter Services again this Easter, albeit with limited numbers inside.  However we were once again able to make full use of our outside speakers to relay the services to those gathered outside.

Holy Week started with Palm Sunday and the procession outside around the Church, it continued with the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday until the joyous service on Easter Sunday itself when we celebrated Christ’s resurrection.   The church was adorned with beautiful vases of Lilies and a book of remembrance was made and presented to the Church for all to see.  After the service on Easter Sunday an Easter Breakfast was held with delicious food donated by the Congregation making a welcome return to celebrate with one another.

Our thanks go to Fr Leonard and all the team who worked so hard to make our Easter so wonderful.
