Dear Readers,
Peace and Grace to you all,
We would like to express our condolences to our Ethiopian brothers and sisters for the loss of the Ethiopian Orthodox Patriarch Abune Paulos. May he remember us in his prayers.
This month we celebrate the 5th year since we started our newsletter. We would like to thank all our readers who have supported us with their feedback and prayers. We cant also forget the youth who tirelessly helped us with the development and upkeep of the emails and website as well as the talented youth who provided us with their articles on the different issues. We ask all our readers to keep this service in their prayer.
In regards to the Christian music competition we have received a great response from many young talents. Everyone will get their chance to listen and rate the songs produced by these young talents mid-October.
Also checkout CopticWorld.org, the new online platform for the Coptic Church which will facilitate all of the Church and it’s congregation’s online affairs. The following is a link to a brief video that will summarise CopticWorld.org. Also read this.

Dear Readers,
Peace and Grace to you all,
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Rev 21:4)
On behalf of the monks of St Shenouda Monastery, we pray for the repose of the souls of those who were martyred during the New Year Eve bombing outside St Paul and St Peter Church in Alexandria. We also ask our savior to console the families of those martyrs. May our gracious Lord bring peace and comfort to their hearts. We pray for His Holiness Pope Shenouda III and the whole church on this sad day of our history.
We would like to invite you to share with us a Divine Liturgy on Saturday the 8th of January 2011 at 9:00am – 12:00pm, in commemoration of our beloved martyrs.

Dear Readers
On the 14th day of this month the Church celebrates the feast of our beloved saint, St Shenouda the Archimandrite. On behalf of all the monks of the monastery I would like to wish you all a happy feast of St Shenouda and to dedicate this issue to our beloved saint.
I would also like to apologies for not being able to be present at the celebrations, as I will be attending the 55th anniversary of the monasticism of our beloved father H.H. Pope Shenouda III.
The time table for the celebration of St Shenouda’s feast is inside this issue.
By God’s grace
