On Monday 6 April and Tuesday 7 April we had services for the Great Feast of the Annuciation of the Mother of God.  On Monday evening All-night Vigil - Great Compline, Matins and the First Hour - was served with the blessing of wheat, wine, oil and five loaves. At Great Compline, the psalms and prayers were read in Slavonic, English and Finnish.  On Tuesday morning the Third, Sixth and Ninth Hours, Typica, Vespers and the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom were served. It being a working day, a small number of people were present, including friends from the Gosford parish and the Serbian Orthodox community in Newcastle.  Almost everyone present received the Holy Mysteries.
