What's on at St Helena's
Prayer for the week
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than
we to pray and to give more than either we desire, or deserve: Pour
down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of
which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which
we are not worthy to ask save through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.

Contact us if you would like to know more about St Helena's, or any of our activities.
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.
We are part of the worldwide Anglican communion. 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
Besides
Sunday services, there are Bible
studies, prayer
times,
pastoral care, and ladies' coffee afternoons. Other social and
fundraising events take place
through the year.
Weddings
We
provide wedding
preparation and ceremonies for many couples each year, both local and
from
the UK. Our weddings are in the Anglican style and are
conducted
either at the church or at one of the several local hotels.
The weddings page has
more information.
Funerals
St Helena's can provide a full funeral service for churchgoers and non-churghgoers alike. We regard this as part of the pastoral mission of the church.
St
Helena's Church is part of the
