Tips for joining in Worship at home:
- Be ready to go 10 minutes before the service is starting with your computer, iPad or TV set up and connected and volume turned up. The livestream will appear a few minutes before the service is scheduled to begin.
- If you have a printer, you may want to print the Order of Service in advance and have it ready for Sunday Morning, otherwise you can follow along on another device. Do join in the responses and hymns as you normally would.
- If there is problem with the Livestream technology, don't worry! We will record all our services and make them available as soon as possible after.
- You can contribute as part of the offertory by giving online via www.cathedral.org.au/donate

Introducing our Discipleship Series
With great excitement, our Cathedral is embarking on the theme of “Discipleship” for the next six weeks. This marks the start of encouraging and enabling every member of our Cathedral family to live a life following and imitating Christ and helping others do the same. We warmly invite everyone to come on this journey by joining one of the discipleship groups. The first group will meet this Sunday at 11.15am via Zoom (see details above).
In preparation for these sessions, you may like to read the questions (click here). Please have a copy of the Bible ready for the study as well.

The World
Praise God, with people around the world for the amazing talent and dedication of athletes at the Olympic Games. We hold the people of Afghanistan in our prayers, as the conflict there deteriorates and the question is asked of whether full-scale war might return. In Tigray province of Ethiopia, there are calls for rebels to leave these border regions as violence continues, impacting lives of nationals in so many challenging ways. While COVID infection statistics indicate a reprieve in many badly affected countries, South Korea is suffering a spike as the Delta variant arrives. In Ghana, demonstrations are calling for the President to act and bring relief for people suffering from economic struggles adversely affected by the pandemic. While local people in Myanmar are suffering shortages of hospital beds and oxygen supplies, no solution to significant problems are apparent on either side of the political divide.
Our City and State
We pray for ourselves as our COVID situation has changed so rapidly. Help us to be cheerfully understanding as we change and cancel plans, reminded that our trust in God is paramount as we follow requirements to keep each other safe.
The Anglican Communion
The Church of South India (United: Leader/Moderator: A. Dharmaraj Rasalam). In Nigeria, the Primate has dedicated a new Cathedral of St Andrew, Zonkwa, describing it as a glorious edifice to worship God. He commended the people for their faith in God in the face of persecution, saying that it was a joyous occasion even though lives there are under threat. We thank God and pray for their Bishop Jacob Kwashi and Rhoda, his wife, for strength and courage as they lead the congregation.
