Praying at Home

All of us, whether members of our community or not, have the opportunity in our homes to worship our Lord and Saviour, and to pray for each other and for the world. Here you will find a growing set of resources to help you to continue to practise our Orthodox faith in these challenging times.

We are currently livestreaming all our services from the chapel (see our Facebook page) for the benefit of all who cannot be present in church.

We are also providing some service texts which are suitable for the laity to use at home in the absence of a priest.

On Sundays …

If you are unable to join us for the Liturgy, we encourage you to pray the Typika Service at home – alone or with your family. The link will take you to to full text including the readings and other variable portions for the Sunday of this week. If you prefer to download and print the base text you will also need the ‘Extras Sheet’ which provides the text which varies from week to week.

Every Day …

We encourage you to pray at the beginning and at the end of each day. Here you will find the Morning and Evening Prayers. Here, too, are the Bible Readings and Commemorations for each day.
