THE NEW CHURCH
The former Leyland Lane Methodist Church, Leyland Lane, Leyland, PR25 1TA
We have left it until now before we prepared this newsletter because we wanted the information to be as up to date as possible concerning the purchase of our new home.
During the past week we have received another private substantial loan and, with the agreement of the Archbishop, we are now able to proceed.  Glory to God! 
Today, the 25th June, we discussed with our solicitor the final details and procedures which are needed.  The provisional date for the completion has been agreed as no later than Friday 20th July.  Therefore, with God’s blessing, our first celebration of the Holy Liturgy in our new home will be on Sunday 22nd July.  We also plan to hold a Blessing and Vespers Service on the evening of the day of completion at 7.30pm.

Preparing and Cleaning the Church
As the church has not been used for almost a year we will need to clean the new premises inside and out as thoroughly as possible. If you can be available to help and give a day or half a day please contact Presbytera Mary to arrange.
Services will at first be held in the church hall whilst refitting work is carried out in the church itself.  Much of the preparation work can be done by ourselves and over the next few months we will need as many volunteers as possible to help.  Please contact Gregory to offer your help.

Congratulations!
To Maria and Paul Dunkow on the baptism of their daughter Anna Sophia on Sunday 10th June, and to Renish Kurian and John P. John on the baptism of their daughter Niya Merin on Sunday 17th June.
A joy for everyone and we wish them Many Years!!

In Your prayers
Please remember Agni in your prayers, who has had an accident and suffered injury to her ribs, and also Barbara, who is recovering from surgery.  We wish them both a speedy recovery.
