WELCOME TO AUCKLAND CATHEDRAL OF THE HOLY TRINITY Celebrating God’s Love Welcoming all - Worshipping God - Nourishing community - Empowering action A very warm welcome to the community of Holy Trinity Cathedral. If you would like to know more about Cathedral programmes, or receive regular information, please complete one of the blue cards at the rear of the Cathedral, or St Stephen's Chapel, and give it to a sides-person or to one of the clergy.
FROM THE DESK OF THE DEAN: Organ projects progress Today at 10am and 5pm we worship in St Mary’s-in-Holy Trinity because the Cathedral organ building team had to stop work for our Diocesan Synod which took place in the Nave this week. In order to keep on schedule, they are making up the time lost by working today in the Cathedral. During the KBB Music Festival, two weeks ago, the team also worked a week of night shifts! We are very grateful for their flexibility and we are also very blessed to have two churches as part of our Cathedral Precinct. Interestingly, 7 September will mark two years since we had our last Sunday morning Service in St Mary’s before moving back to the Nave without the bridge. What a lot has happened in those two years! The Cathedral Organ builders from Nicholson will be with us for the next 6 weeks, after which time all of the organ that is on the Parnell Road side of the Cathedral will be installed. On 10 September we look forward to welcoming Andrew Moyes, Managing Director of Nicholson & Co, back to Auckland as he comes to look at progress to date, and to participate in some of the electrical side of the organ installation. The present team will return to Malvern in October to complete construction of the other side of the organ. Returning in mid-January, the final part of the organ (on the harbour side of the Cathedral) will be installed, concluding before Easter. Some voicing work will continue after Easter and we look to a completed Cathedral organ in May 2017. At the same time, restoration of St Mary’s organ is underway now in Brisbane. Simon Pierce and his team will be back in mid-November this year to complete phase one of the organ re-installation. In October the front pipes of the organ will also be removed for painting. George Croft had specified that this happen in his design for St Mary’s organ but there was not enough money in the original project to complete it. Over 100 years later we are blessed to be able to complete this. In 2017 we will have both organ teams here at the same time as Simon’s team also completes St Mary’s organ by mid-March. Exciting stuff! Jo Kelly-Moore, Dean.
TODAY AT THE CATHEDRAL COFFEE AND MUFFINS: Today after our 8am Service all are welcome to join in the Friends’ Room for coffee and muffins. HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY! Today we give thanks for our fathers, the saints on earth and in heaven, and for those who are, or have been, as father to us.
CATHEDRAL NEWS CELEBRATING 500 CATHEDRAL FREEZER MEALS: Last week the 500th home cooked freezer meal was distributed from the Cathedral. This is a wonderful ministry in our midst, which has been a great blessing to so many people. Thank you to Paul who co-ordinates this ministry and to Bonnie, Jane, Helen, Amanda, Lilo, Renata, Lois, Jan, Sue, Janet, Paul, Nola and Merle who generously cook the meals. Well done team – and thank you! BISHOP SELWYN CHAPEL OPENING AFTERNOON TEA: Thank you again to everyone who brought plates filled with goodies for the Chapel opening afternoon tea. Please collect your bowl/container from a trolley in the Bishop Monteith Visitors’ Centre today. THANK YOU to all who generously donated spectacles to send to Honiara. We were able to give two supermarket bags towards this worthy cause. A member of our 10am congregation, Gary Swift who is a member of the Melanesian Trust Board, will take them to Honiara. COMMUNITY OF TRINITY: An important part of the Cathedral’s mission and ministry in our Consecration year will be to offer hospitality and leadership to a new intentional community being formed in the Diocese. The offer is for Christians to learn, during a year with others, how to make time for God amidst everyday life. Our bishops are inviting Christians aged 20 – 35 to form an intentional non-residential community in the monastic tradition. Through a focus on prayer, spiritual practice, service and formation, each member will learn to nurture a growing and sustainable relationship with God. Members will experience a year of shared life, and learn spiritual practices which will deepen their engagement in their churches, and in every sector of society. Participants will keep their daily commitments and local worship communities, but will commit to an evening a week, as well as a retreat and times to hold the City and Diocese in prayer. The Bishop Selwyn Chapel in Holy Trinity Cathedral will be the regular gathering space. Apply now for November 2016 Commissioning. Applications close 3 October. To find out more speak with the Rev’d Jayson Rhodes or go to facebook.com/communityoftrinity or www.holytrinity.org.nz.
