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

Carols at Curfew
“Yet I put my trust in your unfailing love: O let my heart rejoice in your salvation.
And I will make my song to the Lord because he deals so bountifully with me.”
Ps 13.5-6
Each night at curfew we invite you to unite with us in voice as we sing hymns of praise and hope to lighten the night! We’ll be sharing a hymn, blessing, and organ piece at 9pm every night of curfew to proclaim the light and hope we find in God’s unfailing love.
Join us as we give voice to hope in times of darkness:

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. The group is currently meeting on Zoom on Sundays at 11.15am, but hope to meet in-person once restrictions allow. Catch up on previous sermons and studies via our website: cathedral.org.au/discipleship-series

The World
As we hold the needs of the people of Afghanistan before God, we pray for peace and stability, that the Taliban will honour their published promises to allow safe passage to Kabul for those wanting to leave, and recognition of rights for women beginning to adjust to living under Shariah law, and we join with Afghans already in Australia to plead with our Federal Government to soften their approach to compassionate visas; we pray for peace and justice for Malaysia as they find a new prime minister, for Hong Kong where aggression continues, for Myanmar, for safety in Burkina Faso following spiralling rebel attacks; and we are thankful for signs of hope for Tigray that Turkey has offered to mediate in the dispute between Ethiopia and Sudan; for restoration of peace by US counter-terrorism forces in DR Congo. Give thanks for signs of hope in Zambia as a new president is elected, and we pray with nationals that this will be a path to economic justice and the end of repression.
We join in prayer for those in Haiti suffering from the effects of an earthquake and heavy rain with landslides, where hospitals and homes have been destroyed and many are injured, killed, or missing; for those suffering the effects of floods in Addis Ababa, China India, and Bangladesh where Rohingya refugees have been displaced.
We ask for strength and perseverance for firefighters and restoration of homes and property in France and California as fires continue, and July is claimed as the hottest month on record. Hot and dry conditions have continued destructive fires in Greece while Turkey battles floods in the north and fires in the south, and we pray for restoration and healing.
Our City and State
For grace to put community needs ahead of our own desires as we accept isolation from family and friends, economic struggles and job losses; consolation and positivity for those challenged by associated mental health issues and resilience for carers, and for all of us a firm resolve to find something to be thankful for every day.
