Services are held in English on the first Sunday of every month. The Creed and the Lord's Prayer are recited in Greek, Russian (usually) and English - with Georgian, Romanian and other tongues to be heard depending on who is present in the congregation each week. All visitors are welcome to attend the Holy and Divine Liturgy, but you should note that only confirmed Orthodox Christians are permitted to receive Holy Communion. The blessed, but non-sanctified bread, distributed at the end of the Holy Liturgy, antidoron, is offered to all Christians.

Main worshiping area
We disinfect the main worshipping area before opening the doors. The same applies to the toilets and the kitchen area.
Access
(i) We expect that faithful will not congregate at the entrance or exit
(ii) We have provided alcohol-based hand sanitizer/gel at both entrance and exit
(iii) If you want to wear a face covering, you must bring bring your own, as we no longer have a stock.
Candles
An adequate supply of candles has been laid out with an officer or a volunteer overseeing their distribution. A POS (point-of-sale) system is installed for your convenience. It accepts all major credit/debit cards, as well as ApplePay and GooglePay.
Icons
The practice of bowing to venerate the icons is recommended, but where visitors touch the icons, these will be sanitised with wipes between each person to ensure hygiene measures are continued.
