Saturday 26th May dawned bright and fair. Despite it being a holiday weekend we were hoping for a good attendance at the Bazaar.
The stallholders arrived early to set out their goods, and the bunting and Union Jacks were hung up around the perimeter of the Church to add a colourful flavour to the proceedings and to advertise this particularly “British” occasion.
By 11.00 people were queuing up at the gate to get in. Fr Leonard rang the bell and the gate was opened! There was an immediate rush to the Jewellery Stall where the three Ladies had their hands full keeping up with the sales. The Book Stall also did brisk business and soon all the other stalls were busy selling.

After arriving on Wednesday afternoon, Charles and Camilla headed to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square where the Prince laid a wreath to remember the unknown and missing casualties of war.
Later on they met with President Prokopis Pavlopoulos at the Presidential Mansion and then with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. They also met with Mr Kostis Dimtisas, the General Manager of Apostoli, the Charitable arm of the Orthodox Church, and friend of the Anglican Church in Athens.

We are delighted to welcome to St Paul’s the Motet Choir of Carl Gustaf’s Church in Sweden for a concert on Thursday 10th May 2018 at 8.30pm. Entrance is free – everyone welcome.
On the morning before the last concert of our very successful 15th Spring Organ Series, we were delighted to welcome Hannu Niemelä, baritone, accompanied by Pauli Pietiläinen on the Organ, who sung the beautiful ‘Finnish prayer’ by Taneli Kuusisto, at the end of our morning worship. Roughly translated, the Finnish Prayer means: “Bless and preserve us by your Hand. Lead us on the right way, give us strength. You have all the Power and Spirit.”
The congregation sat spellbound as Hannu’s beautiful voice filled the church to the rafters and at the end they received a well-deserved round of applause.
We are very grateful to the Finnish Institute for their support for our final concert of the Series, and we hope that all visitors to our Website will keep a look out next year for details of our 16th Spring Organ Series.
