On Saturday 26 September and Sunday 27 September, the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, we will have services for the Great Feast of the Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord.  As this is a Great Feast of the Lord the usual Resurrection service is set aside.  All-night Vigil with the blessing of wheat, wine, oil and five loaves and the bringing out of the Cross will be served at 6.00pm on Saturday evening and Divine Liturgy will be served at 9.00am on Sunday morning.  It is important to note that attendance at Divine Liturgy on Sunday is by invitation only.  Provided that numbers do not exceed 30, attendance at the Saturday evening service is open to all who wish to attend.  The NSW Department of Health recommendation that face masks be worn in places of religious worship should be noted.
