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

Luke Jerram’s – Gaia
We’re thrilled to be hosting this spectacular sculpture of Earth measuring seven metres in diameter, from late April to the end of June this year. If you haven’t heard about it yet – please have a look on our website. We’re seeking volunteers to be ‘greeters’ to welcome the many visitors we expect to come and see the sculpture – for many it will be their first visit to the Cathedral. If you are interested in offering some time each week, please contact Andrew Victorsen.
English Conversation Class
Continues tomorrow and next Monday from 2-3.15pm on Zoom, before the Easter Holiday Break. Classes are free of charge, and open to anyone wishing to learn to converse in English. For more information on our ECC classes, visit our website or contact Canon Robert at rvun@stpaulscathedral.org.au. Classes will resume in person from Term 2.

Ways to pray at home

The World
It has been alleged that Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine, so we continue to pray fervently for the people of Ukraine, that in the face of these impossible circumstances, they would remember God has promised to be with his people always. For the great numbers of refugees, we can pray for their strength in the face of terrible conditions, and that, as God is the helper of the oppressed, they might find relief and safety in unexpected places given by caring people. In Myanmar, people who are disabled or elderly are facing greater risks during the military crackdown, without food and medicine as they flee from fighting. As this conflict deepens, and homelessness increases with 14 million in need of humanitarian aid, we pray for the fearful, the displaced and the needy that in finding solutions, they might recognise God’s provision for them in their crises. In China, as paramilitary police and firefighters are deployed to the air crash site, we ask comfort for them and for family and friends of those whose lives have been lost. In Afghanistan, after a seven-month closure, girls’ high schools have again been shut directly after re-opening, citing the necessity of a plan sympathetic to Afghan culture and Islamic practice. Our prayers go out to girls above grade six who had anticipated resuming their secondary education.
Our City & State
We are thankful for the further relaxation of restrictions around management of COVID and its variants. Give us grace never to take for granted our rights ahead of our responsibilities to others in our community. We pray for and support businesses trying to survive current difficulties, and hope the current bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games might bring fresh encouragement.
