MEKANE SEMAET ST. ARSEMA ETHIOPIAN OORTHODOX TEWAHDO CHURCH
Report and Accounts
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, our parish church had to close its doors and halt regular services for a significant period of time, starting from an unspecified date and lasting until October 2023. During this challenging period, our church community made every effort to stay connected and supportive of one another. Despite the physical closure of the church, we continued to come together once a month to pray, share in fellowship, and receive spiritual guidance at members' homes. These gatherings helped us maintain a sense of community and belonging during a difficult time.
After a temporary closure, we are pleased to announce that our weekly service has resumed on October 14, 2023, at our new address ( 74 St. James Street Walthamstow E17 7PE) . The new location is easily accessible and has ample space to accommodate all members. We have taken all necessary measures to ensure that our service is not only regular but also safe and hygienic, adhering to all recommended guidelines
