On Sunday, 18 November Abba Seraphim blessed Yuriy Kot as an Epsaltos to assist Hieromonk John in the services of the British Orthodox Church of Christ the Saviour at Bournemouth. Also present at the Liturgy was Deacon Antony Holland of Portsmouth, recently returned to ministry, who is also now attached to the Bournemouth Church. Although regular services are now held at the Bournemouth Church, Abba Seraphim and Father James continue to attend on the third Sunday in each month, when a pontifical liturgy is celebrated.
