WELCOME TO CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL

Children are welcome at our services. There are toys in the Quiet Room.

Please feel free to take this publication away with you.

Dear Cathedralites

My thanks to Fr. Steve and others who will be covering for me today as I am at Freyberg High School in Palmerston North at a reunion for teachers and students who were there in the late seventies. I am going because the three years I spent in the classroom were a brilliant preparation for ordained ministry. I owe my colleagues and students so much for what they taught me. It would be interesting to hear from many of you who have learned from previous jobs, the results of which you are now reaping the benefits of because of an early good preparation and teaching.

We say farewell to Janice and Ray as they head back to England before returning in summer. Janice has been part of the choir and recently has sung a wonderful solo.

Congratulations to the AAW who are celebrating their Golden Jubilee. Yesterday they had a grand service lead by Dean Charles Tyrrell and today they are featuring here in the Cathedral, combining it with Mothering Sunday. AAW have lead the way in the Anglican Church for such a long time, praying for family life. I am sure Roz and others would like more folk to join in the Association of Anglican Women. It’s a wonderful ministry and I am so pleased that our Cathedral branch is relatively strong.

We had another interesting time at our Grow course for Lent with a number of folk coming from various churches as well as the Cathedral. Last week we looked at the four main ingredients needed when leading: a ministry; a home group; coaching a football or netball team. We are thinking of starting earlier, say at 7 pm for the next few weeks of our course. It is still to be decided.

On Thursday morning the Music Committee is getting together to look at the next few months for hymns. If you have a favourite hymn you want us to feature at our 10 am or 5:30 pm Evensong then please ring me direct on 021 711 726 and tell me your favourite. We will try to integrate it into our hymn list.

Next Sunday is exciting as we combine Harvest Festival with our seasonal workers and a baptism all in one. Autumn has suddenly come upon us and we are conscious our gardens having reached their peak, so we empty them out and sell off the harvest and give the money to overseas missions.

The commissioning service of the Bishop elect, Steve Maina, will be taking place here at the Cathedral on August 31st at 9.30 am! Bishop elect Steve told me this week that with such an early start there will be plenty of time for partying afterwards. Wouldn’t that be exciting in the new chapter of this Diocese!

Exodus 2:1-10 1 Now a man from the house of Levi

went and married a Levite

woman. 2 The woman conceived and

bore a son; and when she saw that he

was a fine baby, she hid him for three

months. 3 When she could hide him no

longer she got a papyrus basket for

him, and plastered it with bitumen and

pitch; she put the child in it and placed

it among the reeds on the bank of the

river. 4 His sister stood at a distance,

to see what would happen to

him.5 The daughter of Pharaoh came

down to bathe at the river, while her

attendants walked beside the river.

She saw the basket among the reeds

and sent her maid to bring it. 6 When

she opened it, she saw the child. He

was crying, and she took pity on him.

‘This must be one of the Hebrews’

children,’ she said. 7 Then his sister

said to Pharaoh’s daughter, ‘Shall I go

and get you a nurse from the Hebrew

women to nurse the child for

you?’ 8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to

her, ‘Yes.’ So the girl went and called

the child’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s

daughter said to her, ‘Take this child

and nurse it for me, and I will give you

your wages.’ So the woman took the

child and nursed it. 10 When the child

grew up, she brought him to

Pharaoh’s daughter, and she took him

as her son. She named him Moses,

‘because’, she said, ‘I drew him out of

the water.’

Colossians 3:12-17

12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and

beloved, clothe yourselves with

compassion, kindness, humility,

meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with

one another and, if anyone has a

complaint against another, forgive

each other; just as the Lord has

forgiven you, so you also must

forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves

with love, which binds everything

together in perfect harmony. 15 And let

the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

to which indeed you were called in the

one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the

word of Christ dwell in you richly;

teach and admonish one another in all

wisdom; and with gratitude in your

hearts sing psalms, hymns, and

spiritual songs to God. 17 And

whatever you do, in word or deed, do

everything in the name of the Lord

Jesus, giving thanks to God the

Father through him.

5

Luke 2:33-35

33 And the child’s father and mother

were amazed at what was being said

about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed

them and said to his mother Mary,

‘This child is destined for the falling

and the rising of many in Israel, and to

be a sign that will be opposed 35 so

that the inner thoughts of many will be

revealed—and a sword will pierce

your own soul too.

Psalm 30 1. I will exalt you O Lord for you have drawn me up from the depths:

and have not suffered my foes to triumph over me.

2. O Lord my God I cried to you: and you have made me whole.

3. You brought me back O Lord from the land of silence:

you saved my life from among those that go down to the Pit.

4. Sing praises to the Lord all you his faithful ones:

and give thanks to his holy name.

5. For if in his anger is havoc, in his good favour is life:

heaviness may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6. In my prosperity I said ‘I shall never be moved:

your goodness O Lord has set me on so firm a hill.’

7. Then you hid your face from me: and I was greatly dismayed.

8. I cried to you O God: and made my petition humbly to my Lord.

9. ‘What profit is there in my blood if I go down to the Pit:

can the dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness?

10. Hear O Lord and be merciful: O Lord be my helper.’

11. You have turned my lamentations into dancing: you have put off my

sackcloth and girded me with joy,

12. That my heart may sing your praise and never be silent:

O Lord my God I will give thanks to you forever.

6

Isaiah 40:26-31

26 Lift up your eyes on high and see:

Who created these? He who brings

out their host and numbers them,

calling them all by name; because he

is great in strength, mighty in power,

not one is missing. 27 Why do you say,

O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, ‘My way

is hidden from the LORD, and my right

is disregarded by my God’? 28 Have

you not known? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God, the

Creator of the ends of the earth. He

does not faint or grow weary; his

understanding is unsearchable. 29 He

gives power to the faint, and

strengthens the powerless. 30 Even

youths will faint and be weary, and the

young will fall exhausted; 31 but those

who wait for the LORD shall renew

their strength, they shall mount up with

wings like eagles, they shall run and

not be weary, they shall walk and not

faint.

2 Timothy 4:1-8

1 In the presence of God and of Christ

Jesus, who is to judge the living and

the dead, and in view of his appearing

and his kingdom, I solemnly urge

you: 2 proclaim the message; be

persistent whether the time is

favourable or unfavourable; convince,

rebuke, and encourage, with the

utmost patience in teaching. 3 For the

time is coming when people will not

put up with sound doctrine, but having

itching ears, they will accumulate for

themselves teachers to suit their own

desires, 4 and will turn away from

listening to the truth and wander away

to myths. 5 As for you, always be

sober, endure suffering, do the work

of an evangelist, carry out your

ministry fully. 6 As for me, I am already

being poured out as a libation, and the

time of my departure has come. 7 I

have fought the good fight, I have

finished the race, I have kept the

faith. 8 From now on there is reserved

for me the crown of righteousness,

which the Lord, the righteous judge,

will give to me on that day, and not

only to me but also to all who have

longed for his appearing.

all Christians who are refugees in other

countries or displaced within their own

country. Be their refuge and a strong

tower. Watch over and provide for all

who are dispossessed. Let them hear

Your words of comfort and fill them

with a peace that the world cannot give.

Remind them of their heavenly

homeland, where You have prepared a

city for them. Watch over all

dispossessed Christians, and let them

know Your comfort and peace and

Your assurance of their heavenly

homeland. In Jesus’ Name we ask.

(Psalm 61:3; Hebrews 11:16). Amen.
