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 It’s been a monumental week in the life of this Diocese and the Cathedral. Thank you to all of you who turned out on Thursday night, especially to the choir, and to Nicky with her team who did us proud with the wonderful catering. The 7 pm Word and Worship music team also took part in leading the service during this wonderful time when we were together prior to electoral synod. I write this anticipating that by now we will have a new bishop. However, this person has to be ratified by bishops throughout the three Tikanga which will take quite some time. It’s a great weekend for the Fitchett whanau as they gather together in this very special Cathedral to baptise Alexander (Alex) John Thurston, son of Sarah and Boyd Thurston, and Grandson of John and Kaye Fitchett with Godparents being Great- Uncle Tony Fitchett and Great-Aunt Bron Medlicott-Fitchett. After the service we will be burying the ashes of Alexander’s Great-grandmother Edith, Great-Grandfather, Ivan, and Great-Uncle Alan Fitchett. After more than 15 years in the waiting a memorial garden has finally been completed. Many thanks to the Fitchett whanau who have helped make this happen. You can read in the 10 am booklet of the amazing Anglican connections of this extended family. It is Shrove Tuesday this Tuesday, our usual Shrove Tuesday pancake party in the Deanery, pizzas included. It is $5.00 for a family in total or $2.00 per person. Come and join us from 5.30pm onwards. I am very keen that many of us at the Cathedral join with St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Father Bill on this Wednesday at 7 pm for our combined Ash Wednesday service. In the past they have come to us but this year we are to repay the favour. This is a grand opportunity for us to be ecumenical. I want us to turn up in big numbers. Patsy and I will be away in Takaka in our little caravan from Thursday to the following week. I am looking forward to exploring that part of the country. It’s lovely to know that Father Steve’s leg is getting better by the day and he is becoming much more mobile. Praise God!

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

It’s been a monumental week in the life of this Diocese and the Cathedral. Thank you to all of you who turned out on Thursday night, especially to the choir, and to Nicky with her team who did us proud with the wonderful catering. The 7 pm Word and Worship music team also took part in leading the service during this wonderful time when we were together prior to electoral synod. I write this anticipating that by now we will have a new bishop. However, this person has to be ratified by bishops throughout the three Tikanga which will take quite some time. It’s a great weekend for the Fitchett whanau as they gather together in this very special Cathedral to baptise Alexander (Alex) John Thurston, son of Sarah and Boyd Thurston, and Grandson of John and Kaye Fitchett with Godparents being Great- Uncle Tony Fitchett and Great-Aunt Bron Medlicott-Fitchett. After the service we will be burying the ashes of Alexander’s Great-grandmother Edith, Great-Grandfather, Ivan, and Great-Uncle Alan Fitchett. After more than 15 years in the waiting a memorial garden has finally been completed. Many thanks to the Fitchett whanau who have helped make this happen. You can read in the 10 am booklet of the amazing Anglican connections of this extended family. It is Shrove Tuesday this Tuesday, our usual Shrove Tuesday pancake party in the Deanery, pizzas included. It is $5.00 for a family in total or $2.00 per person. Come and join us from 5.30pm onwards. I am very keen that many of us at the Cathedral join with St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Father Bill on this Wednesday at 7 pm for our combined Ash Wednesday service. In the past they have come to us but this year we are to repay the favour. This is a grand opportunity for us to be ecumenical. I want us to turn up in big numbers.

Patsy and I will be away in Takaka in our little caravan from Thursday to the following week. I am looking forward to exploring that part of the country. It’s lovely to know that Father Steve’s leg is getting better by the day and he is becoming much more mobile. Praise God!

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

advised to refrain from partaking of the practice of “Intinction” with the wafer or using the

important personal and public health issue which conforms with the Cathedral’s Health &

Safety requirements.

Thanks to those who helped at CAMEO on Friday. It’s wonderful to see people hav-ing a grand time of fellowship with each other. There were lots of laughs. Again, thanks to Sally, Bruce and the catering team for the wonderful meal they provided. There was a bumper crowd at Loaves and Fishes on Thursday. I learnt all about life in some on Nelson’s housing estates! I decided at the last minute to attend the Hollie’s concert here in Nelson on Wednesday night. It was brilliant, as they played the old favourites. Only a 5minute bike ride away from the Deanery. It’s wonderful living in central Nelson!! Go the Crusaders and the Black Caps. Meanwhile, have a great week. In His service, Mike

The Sentence and Collects for the day

Sentence: “Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling

in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your

labour is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

Collect: Eternal God, light of the minds that know you, joy of the hearts

that love you, strength of the wills that serve you;

grant us so to know you that we may truly love you,

and so to love you that we may gladly serve you,

now and always. Amen.

Isaiah 55:10-13 10 For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

12 For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

1 Corinthians 15:51-58 51 Listen, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying

that is written will be fulfilled: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’ 55 ‘Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’ 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.

Luke 6:43-49

43 ‘No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. 46 ‘Why do you call me “Lord, Lord”, and do not do what I tell you? 47 I will show you what

someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. 48 That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, immediately it fell, and great was the ruin of that house.’

Psalm 89:1-18

1. Lord I will sing for ever of your loving-kindnesses:

my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness throughout all generations.

2. I have said of your loving-kindness that it is built for ever:

you have established your faithfulness in the heavens.

3. The Lord said: ‘I have made a covenant with my chosen:

I have sworn an oath to my servant David.’

4. ‘I will stablish your line for ever:

and build up your throne for all generations.’

5. Let the heavens praise your wonders O Lord:

and let your faithfulness be sung in the assembly of the holy ones.

6. For who amidst the clouds can be compared to the Lord:

and who is like the Lord among the sons of heaven?

7. A God to be feared in the council of the holy ones:

great and terrible above all that are around him.

8. O Lord God of hosts who is like you?:

Your power and your faithfulness are all about you.

9. You rule the raging of the sea:

when its waves surge you still them.

10. You crush Rahab like a carcase:

you scattered your enemies by your mighty arm.

11. The heavens are yours so also is the earth:

you founded the world and all that is in it.

12. You created the north and the south:

Tabor and Mount Hermon shall sing of your name.

13. Mighty is your arm:

strong is your hand and your right hand is lifted high.

14. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne:

loving-kindness and faithfulness attend your presence.

15. Happy the people who know the triumphal shout:

who walk O Lord in the light of your countenance.

16. They rejoice all the day long because of your name:

because of your righteousness they are exalted.

17. For you are their glory and their strength:

and our heads are uplifted by your favour.

18. Our king belongs to the Lord:

he that rules over us to the Holy One of Israel.

Exodus 3:1-6

1 Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, ‘I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.’ 4 When the LORD saw that he had

turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ 5 Then he said, ‘Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.’ 6 He said further, ‘I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

John 12:27-36a

27 ‘Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—“Father, save me from this hour”? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’ 29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to him.’ 30 Jesus answered, ‘This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgement of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.’ 33 He said this to indicate the kind of death

he was to die. 34 The crowd answered him, ‘We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?’ 35 Jesus said to them, ‘The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.’ After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.

ST BARNABAS PRAYER

SUNDAY 3: O Lord, our God, who

commanded that we should have no

other gods before You, we gladly bow

before You and worship You alone.

We pray for Chinese Christians in

Dongcun village, Henan province,

who were ordered by government

officials to erase the first of the

Ten Commandments, displayed near

the pulpit. When Christians did not

act, the officials erased the first

commandment themselves, and later

forced church members to remove

the whole display. We pray that our

brothers and sisters, who had been

forced to remove the cross from their

church building just three months

earlier, will stand firm and continue to

glorify the Lord Jesus in whose Name

we pray. Amen

UPDATE ON LITTLE LUCY (1, AUS):

Lucy's blood counts going in right directions. White - up. Viral - down. Yay! Hopefully home soon. Prayers still very welcome. Thank you so much. Sophie (Great Aunt)

For prayer requests please contact Rev Tapita Ching

HEALTH & SAFETY NOTICE

11

The Health and Safety Act 2015: In May 2018 a small Health and Safety committee was

formed to address the various responsibilities that the Act requires with reference to the

running of the Cathedral. The Dean was identified in the Act as the PCBU (a person

conducting a business or undertaking). This puts very onerous responsibilities on the

Dean. The task of the committee was to identify these responsibilities and to attend to any

matters that were identified as requiring attention and mitigation. These matters cover a

wide range from natural disaster risks, safety of children to maintenance of equipment, and

are reviewed regularly. The Dean is required to sign a letter to the Bishop annually stating

that the Cathedral complies with the regulations and noting any outstanding matters of

Health & Safety. The Vestry is also required to sign a letter to the Bishop on similar lines.

The Diocesan office has a number of guidelines and material that we are using to ensure

we meet our obligations. Although the Dean is the PCBU we all have a responsibility to

ensure we do not endanger ourselves or others with our actions.

Fire & Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) Fire Safety, Evacuation Procedures and

Evacuation Schemes Regulations 2018: In May 2018 the regulations for this Act were

updated. An application has been made to FENZ, and was recently accepted. The main

issue affecting everyone in the parish is the need to carry out fire evacuation drills every six

months. These are recorded by FENZ. The clergy are approved as the fire wardens with the

Dean being the Chief Fire Warden. The logical reason for this is that they are in the best

position to control things in an emergency. In the Dean's absence then the service leader

will be Chief Warden. Parishioners are expected to follow their directions in any emergency

event. Yellow Jackets and Safety Helmets will identify the Wardens. Warning of a fire will

be carried out by three long blasts of a whistle or by public address system or by shouting

"FIRE!". The whistles will be installed in red break glass call point boxes as follows: one at

the entrance, one on each side of the nave, one in the sanctuary and one in the Vestry area.

During these drills please proceed to the nearest emergency exit, and follow the directions

of the wardens. If you notice someone in need of assistance, please provide this if you are

able. The assembly points are at the top of the cathedral steps and also in the main car

park by the information board. Both assembly points are sign posted. Prior to the com-

mencement of concerts and special events with the general public present, whoever is run-

ning the event will make a special announcement regarding the position of exits etc. We

are obliged to carry out these requirements, as it is the law of the land.

Earthquake: Civil Defense recommend ‘Drop cover and hold’ in the event of an earthquake.

If you are unable to get under a pew, please adopt the emergency brace position and cover

your head/neck with your arms. It is not recommended to run outside. After an earthquake

follow the instructions of the wardens.
