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

This morning we continue the epic sermon preached by Jesus at the beginning of his

ministry as recorded in Luke 4. Having started off so well and received the accolades

from the locals of Nazareth, we see Jesus going from hero to zero in his insistence that

salvation is for everybody, both Jew, gentile, male, female, irrespective of age, race,

nationality, etc. The locals turned on him in a shocking way. There always has been and

always will be a cost in promoting justice, fairness and equity. There is always a cost in

speaking out, that’s why many don’t.

There was a good turn-out of Nelson clergy to the induction of Matt Watts as Vicar of

Westport, Granity and Karamea last Tuesday. It was good to see Bishop Richard and

Hilary there as well as he played a major part in securing the appointment. Patsy and I

managed to walk along the beach at Cape Foulwind and understood where the name

came from!

Then on Wednesday night at Bev and Fred Greig’s place, a group gathered to plan for

our next Christmas tree festival. There is a sense of excitement and expectation. If you

want to join the team, see Bev Greig or Jocelyn Smith.

Once again, my thanks to Sally and her catering team for the excellent work at CAMEO

on Friday. While we were eating, singing, talking and laughing, we shared

memories of our first days at school which for some seemed like just yesterday. It was

lovely catching up with Morris North and Marian Cumming with us over the weekend.

Morris was my Treasurer at St. Christopher’s and he masterminded the opening of 3 or

4 bookshops now known as St. Christopher’s bookshops. What he has achieved through

this has been absolutely fantastic.

It’s lovely that the Adams Festival is making use of our wonderful cathedral for a concert

this coming Tuesday. Last Thursday we had the service of the late Miles Hursthouse.

Dr. Miles was a well-known entity in Nelson, a much loved doctor. He was in his

hundredth year. It was nice that Charles Tyrrell was able to lead the service.

This next weekend is the installation of Peter Carroll as Bishop of Christchurch. He is well-known in the Nelson Diocese as he was once Priest Assistant of Stoke from 1993 to 1995, Vicar of Blenheim South from 1995 to 2000 and ministry educator from 2001 to 2010. He was a Canon of this Cathedral from 2002 to 2010. He left for the Christchurch diocese in 2010.

CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL NELSON SUNDAY BULLETIN

3rd February 2019 – The 4th Sunday after the Epiphany

SERVICE INFORMATION: Those receiving Holy Communion are invited to do so EITHER by

intinction, i.e. retaining the wafer when it is given to you and then dipping it in the cup of wine before consuming it OR by consuming the wafer when it is given to you and then drinking from the common cup.

• Grape juice is available at communion.

• Gluten free wafers are available.

• Hearing Aid Loop available - please turn to the T position on your hearing aid ALSO

• Ramp for access to the Sanctuary (on the right side)

• Special chairs are available from the Pulpit side for those with disabilities or back problems. Note that the leg height can be adjusted to suit.

HEALTH ADVISORY NOTICE: Worshippers experiencing Cold or Influenza-like illnesses or associated symptoms are advised to refrain from partaking of the practice of “Intinction” with the wafer or using the “Common Cup” during the communion ceremony. Clearly labelled wine and fruit juice alternatives are provided utilising the small thimble glasses. This recommendation is an important personal and public health issue which conforms with the Cathedral’s Health & Safety requirements.

Christchurch diocese is in a bit of an upheaval following the resignation of a number

of Anglican priests who have set up their own alternative churches. While there, I

will be going back to our childhood Church of St. John’s Woolston where we were

married, and our parents were buried and where Patsy’s dad Malcolm used to play

the organ. So, I’ll be preaching, and Patsy will be playing the local St. John’s organ

which hasn’t been played ever since she left to come up here. Reverend Robert and

Anne Burgess and the Reverends Tony and Helen Andrews also have got links to

Woolston parish which also has been decimated by the resignation of their Vicar and

the establishment of another Church.

Men’s breakfast is on Saturday the 16th February from 8 to 9.30 am. Hopefully we

will have an overseas speaker. The following day on Sunday 17th at lunchtime we

will be having our Cathedral barbeque at the Deanery. It should be an exciting

weekend.

RECYCLE YOUR

CHRISTMAS CARDS

The messages and prayers left by visitors

from all over the world are from the heart and

poignant. To help us reduce the costs of the

2,000 handmade stars, we can reuse your

Christmas cards (with clear areas on the

reverse of the designs). Please remove all

personal messages and leave for Judith

(ASAP) in a box on the front trolley in the

Cathedral welcome area.

Many thanks.

The Sentence and Collects for the day

Sentence “One thing I have asked of the Lord, which I long for, that I may

dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on

your beauty O Lord and to seek you in your temple.”

Psalm 27:4,5

Collect God, your loving purpose and mercy exceed all imagining:

removed from us any narrowness of mind or heart that limits

your grace; and strengthen our will to follow wherever you may

lead us; through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns

with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for

ever. Amen.

2 Kings 5:10-14

10 Elisha sent a messenger to him,

saying, ‘Go, wash in the Jordan seven

times, and your flesh shall be restored

and you shall be clean.’ 11 But

Naaman became angry and went

away, saying, ‘I thought that for me he

would surely come out, and stand and

call on the name of the LORD his God,

and would wave his hand over the

spot, and cure the leprosy! 12 Are not

Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of

Damascus, better than all the waters

of Israel? Could I not wash in them,

and be clean?’ He turned and went

away in a rage. 13 But his servants

approached and said to him, ‘Father,

if the prophet had commanded you to

do something difficult, would you not

have done it? How much more, when

all he said to you was, “Wash, and be

clean”?’ 14 So he went down and

immersed himself seven times in the

Jordan, according to the word of the

man of God; his flesh was restored

like the flesh of a young boy, and he

was clean.

Acts 16:25-34 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were

praying and singing hymns to God,

and the prisoners were listening to

them. 26 Suddenly there was an

earthquake, so violent that the

foundations of the prison were

shaken; and immediately all the doors

were opened and everyone’s chains

were unfastened. 27 When the jailer

woke up and saw the prison doors

wide open, he drew his sword and was

about to kill himself, since he

supposed that the prisoners had

escaped. 28 But Paul shouted in a loud

voice, ‘Do not harm yourself, for we

are all here.’ 29 The jailer called for

lights, and rushing in, he fell

down trembling before Paul and

Silas. 30 Then he brought them outside

and said, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be

saved?’ 31 They answered, ‘Believe on

the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved,

you and your household.’ 32 They

spoke the word of the Lord to him and

to all who were in his house. 33 At the

same hour of the night he took them

and washed their wounds; then he

and his entire family were baptized

without delay. 34 He brought them up

into the house and set food before

them; and he and his entire household

rejoiced that he had become a

believer in God.

4

Luke 4:22-30 22 All spoke well of him and were

amazed at the gracious words that

came from his mouth. They said, ‘Is

not this Joseph’s son?’ 23 He said to

them, ‘Doubtless you will quote to me

this proverb, “Doctor, cure yourself!”

And you will say, “Do here also in

your home town the things that

we have heard you did at

Capernaum.”’ 24 And he said, ‘Truly I

tell you, no prophet is accepted in the

prophet’s home town. 25 But the truth

is, there were many widows in Israel

in the time of Elijah, when the heaven

was shut up for three years and six

months, and there was a severe

famine over all the land; 26 yet Elijah

was sent to none of them except to a

widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27 There

were also many lepers in Israel in the

time of the prophet Elisha, and none

of them was cleansed except Naaman

the Syrian.’ 28 When they heard this,

all in the synagogue were filled with

rage. 29 They got up, drove him out of

the town, and led him to the brow of

the hill on which their town was built,

so that they might hurl him off the

cliff. 30 But he passed through the

midst of them and went on his way.

Haggai 2:1-9

In the second year of King Darius, 1 in

the seventh month, on the twenty-first

day of the month, the word of

the LORD came by the prophet

Haggai, saying: 2 Speak now to

Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor

of Judah, and to Joshua son of

Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the

remnant of the people, and say, 3 Who

is left among you that saw this house

in its former glory? How does it look to

you now? Is it not in your sight as

nothing? 4 Yet now take courage,

O Zerubbabel, says the LORD;

take courage, O Joshua, son of

Jehozadak, the high priest; take

courage, all you people of the land,

says the LORD; work, for I am with you,

says the LORD of hosts, 5 according to

the promise that I made you when you

came out of Egypt. My spirit abides

among you; do not fear. 6 For thus

says the LORD of hosts: Once again,

in a little while, I will shake the

heavens and the earth and the sea

and the dry land; 7 and I will shake all

the nations, so that the treasure of all

nations shall come, and I will fill this

house with splendour, says

the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is mine,

and the gold is mine, says the LORD of

hosts. 9 The latter splendour of this

house shall be greater than the

former, says the LORD of hosts; and in

this place I will give prosperity, says

the LORD of hosts.

John 2:18-22 18 The Jews then said to him, ‘What sign can you show us for doing this?’ 19 Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ 20 The Jews then said, ‘This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three

days?’ 21 But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

POT LUCK TEA

It's not Lent yet, but we have the opportunity to meet with two mission partners Arthur and Julia. They work in the Middle East. The meeting will be a pot luck tea, at our place, 34 Stafford Ave, Annesbrook on Tuesday 12 Feb at 6.00pm.

Arthur and Julia are working in the community. Theirs is an extremely interesting story. Both are linguists and highly talented. I first met Arthur, (who was dressed in his national north Indian dress) one Christmas time in a central church in Wellington. They are supported by the Church Missionary Society. This will be a good lead into the Lenten studies.

Please RSVP Fred/Bev Greig 547 1120 /0272466384 / fred.bev@xtra.co.nz

NOTICES

THE HOLY DUSTERS

The Cathedral desperately needs volunteers to give a couple of hours a month to assist in cleaning the Cathedral in pristine condition. Our part time cleaner does an excellent job but is only able to do so much in the time allowed.

We are looking for several groups of two people to maintain an allocated area on one morning per month. This would make an enormous contribution to the wellbeing and appearance of Nelson’s greatest asset.

Helen MacKenzie and Angela Shaw have been contributing their time for the last year and would much appreciate some more help as the Cathedral is a big place with a large amount to detail to dust and polish. PLEASE HELP.

Anyone interested

please ring:

Helen 544 5613 or 021 042 7651

Angela 544 3081 or

O Lord Jesus, who said “I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it,” we praise You for the Church in China, which has survived persecution by Buddhists, Taoists, Muslims, Confucianists, Communists and more, over many Pastor Tajdeen Yousif Jan/Feb 2019 10 centuries. We rejoice in the wonderful growth in numbers of Christians in our time, perhaps as many as 200 million, but only You know. We pray that You will sustain and encourage each one, especially as pressure on them grows under the government of President Xi. May they know Your presence, Your peace and Your power every day. (Matthew 16:18) Amen
