THE Resurrection Service
After the proclamation of the Resurrection outside the Church, the real celebration will occur in the Divine Liturgy inside the Church from 12:15am onwards – Holy Communion

VESPERS OF LOVE
This service will be held at St Eustathios Church (Dorcas St, South Melbourne) presided over by his Grace Bishop Ezekiel.

Holy Communion Note: When coming for Holy Communion – be modestly dressed, be present for the Service, don’t wear lipstick as this sticks to the Holy Spoon and also stains the Communion cloth.

Ensure you prepare yourselves spiritually with prayer, fasting and confession.

Parking: Please be careful where you park your car so as not to upset our neighbours and to avoid being fined.

Please Note: You are also reminded that the use of fire-crackers etc is not only impious and disrespectful but also illegal.

Donations for flowers for the Epitaphios: Those wanting to give a donation towards buying flowers for the Epitaphios may do so at the Church. This will enable us to buy flowers of the same type and the required colours so that the decoration of the Epitaphios will be of the highest quality.

Holy Communion for the bed-ridden & those in hospital, contact:
