Who we are
St
Helena's is an English language church
located in the centre of Larnaca on the south east coast of Cyprus.
Since 1907 Christian worship has been offered from our premises.
Though we are in the tradition of the Church of England, our members come from many backgrounds and countries, and participate fully in the life and service of God.
Our primary work at St Helena's is ministry to English speakers in a radius of about 30km around Larnaca.
Our activities (mostly cancelled during the summer months)
St Helena's
offers Bible study, pastoral care, three weekday prayer groups and one
on
Sundays before the morning service, mid-week Holy Communion, social
events
and a ladies fellowship. Much caring goes on member-to-member
informally.
Healing services are held on occasion. The services page has more detail, and information about forthcoming special services.
Weddings
Weddings are central to the work of St
Helena's. We provide wedding
preparation and ceremonies for many couples each year, both local and
from
the UK. Our weddings are in the Church of England style and are
conducted
either at the church or at one of the several local hotels.
The weddings page has
more information.
Funerals
Each year St Helena's is called upon to conduct about 20 funerals - most for people who do not attend the church, but of British background and who lived in Cyprus. Preparation with the family and if desired, after-care following the funeral are offered.
St
Helena's Church is part of the
Diocese of Cyprus and
the Gulf
The diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf is one of four dioceses in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, and includes Cyprus, the Gulf States, Iraq and Yemen. In every part of the diocese, except in Cyprus, the congregations are expatriate, with many Christians from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and the African continent.
