<div><strong>Please Help us Build an Orthodox Church in Bury St Edmunds!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising funds to secure a permanent home for the Eastern Orthodox Christian community at <a href="https://stedmund.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St Edmund's Mission</a> in Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk, UK) — We need your help to make it a reality!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In just 6 months, our new parish has welcomed a permanent priest (<a href="https://stedmund.uk/fr-volodymyr-diachenko/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fr Vladimir</a>), formed a dedicated choir, and faithful altar servers, families and parishioners from across the region. Every week more people come searching for the depth, beauty, and truth of Orthodox Christianity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, we are blessed to rent space from a local Anglican church, where we’ve been warmly received. But to truly grow, thrive and serve our community, we need a place of our own — a sacred space where we can gather for weekly Sunday Liturgies, vespers, feast days, baptisms, and weddings; where the children can grow in the Faith at our Sunday School; where new seekers can learn and be welcomed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Bringing Our Vision to Life</strong>
</div>
<div>We're raising funds, are praying and keeping our eyes open for a building that could become that home — ideally a well-located structure in central Bury St Edmunds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once we have the funds and can secure a building, we will set to work transforming it into a traditional Orthodox Church — We'll need:
</div>
<ul>
<li>A hand-crafted iconostasis &amp; altar
</li>
<li>Adorn the space with icons, candles, candle stands, etc
</li>
<li>Space for our Sunday school &amp; catechism classes
</li>
<li>Heating, water, kitchen &amp; toilet facilities
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — no matter the size — brings us one step closer to a permanent home where Orthodox Christianity can once again flourish in West Suffolk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>1.</strong> Please donate whatever you can — £5, £50, £500, £5,000 — every gift matters. If you wish to buy something specific for the Church, or wish to discuss your donation or other ways you can help please do <a href="https://stedmund.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contact us</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2.</strong> Please share this page with friends, family, and those who can support our mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>3.</strong> Pray for our mission — that God would bless this effort and bring the Orthodox Church back to this town in central East Anglia!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From all our parish family at <a href="https://stedmund.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://stedmund.uk" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://stedmund.uk</a></a> — thank you very much for helping us and may God bless you for your help.
