The Nativity of the Mother of God *** Divine Liturgy 08:30 - 10:00 *** Epistle of the feast: Philippians 2: 5-11 Gospel of the feast: Luke 10: 38-42; 11: 27-28 *** Apolytikion (tone 4) Your birth, O Theotokos, brought joy to the whole world, for from you dawned the sun of righteousness, Christ our God. Freeing us from the curse, He gave us His blessings. Abolishing death, He granted us eternal life. Kotakion (tone 4) In your holy birth, Immaculate One, Joachim and Anna were rid of the shame of childlessness; Adam and Eve of the corruption of death. And so your people, free of the guilt of their sins, celebrate crying: "The barren one gives birth to the Theotokos, who nourishes our life." |

Gift Aid Form
Our parish is registered as a charity in England and Wales. As such, we are eligible for 'Gift Aid' from HMRC.
Gift Aid is a UK government scheme allowing charities to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, at no cost to you. It works by reclaiming the basic rate tax (20%) you already paid on your income. For example, a £10 donation becomes worth £12.50.
If you are a UK tax-payer and have made a donation to the parish in the last year, or you make a donation, completing the Gift Aid form helps us collect government support for charities. The parish bank account details are available on the Donations page.
You can complete the form at the link below. Thank you.
God bless you for your help and for sustaining our community! Fr Dragos

Parish Membership Register St John the Evangelist Romanian parish Cambridge
As our Orthodox parish community in Cambridge continues to grow, we are establishing an official Parish Membership Register to deepen our connection with one another and ensure that our spiritual family remains united.
Signing up is voluntary and free, and offers you direct personal benefits, ensuring you are the first to know about service schedules, family-oriented events, and vital parish news, while also simplifying administrative processes for pastoral needs like baptisms, weddings,
or pastoral visits at home.
For the Parish Priest, this register is an essential tool to better know, understand, and serve the spiritual needs of the flock. Furthermore, by registering your membership, you help us build a stronger foundation for the future.
Accurate numbers allow us to organize more effectively for charitable outreach, ambitious capital projects, and community initiatives that will serve our children for generations to come.
